Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho was fuming after the club’s defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby, waving printouts of what he believed were clear red‑card tackles by Atletico players during a post‑match press conference.
Mourinho showed the printed evidence to reporters, insisting that the challenges were blatant and should have resulted in red cards, but the referees did not sanction the incidents.
He maintained that the referees missed obvious fouls that would have changed the course of the game, and that the lack of disciplinary action was a key factor in Real Madrid’s loss.
The match ended in a defeat for Real Madrid, though the exact scoreline was not mentioned in the statements released by the manager.
The Madrid derby remains one of the fiercest rivalries in Spanish football, with both clubs consistently competing for top honours in La Liga and European competitions.
