Real Madrid’s manager Jose Mourinho said the club’s 2‑1 loss to city rivals Atletico Madrid on Sunday was a result of poor refereeing.
The match, played in LaLiga, marked the second defeat for Los Blancos against their Madrid opponents. A red card for Dean Huijsen early in the game turned the tide, and Atletico went on to score twice before Antonio Rüdiger netted a late consolation for Real.
Speaking to the media after the defeat, Mourinho criticised the officiating crew: “Poor Refereeing Committee, they made a mistake, poor guys. They combine a young inexperienced referee, with a VAR referee that has many stories against us. Poor guys, they made a mistake, that’s it, right? I won’t say what happened today was prepared, right? It’s only a mistake, right?”
Real Madrid’s loss adds to the pressure on the club as it seeks to recover from a series of disappointing results in the Spanish league.
