Once again, refereeing is the subject of debate in La Liga. With a good dose of bad faith on both sides, Madrid and Barcelona believe they are being cheated by the referees’ decisions during matches in the Spanish championship. This Tuesday, the La Liga coaching committee had a meeting to discuss many topics, such as the financial situation and their contracts. Daily life A.S. explains that practically all La Liga coaches showed up, including Carlo Ancelotti and Xavi.

And the two coaches of the enemy brothers of Spanish football were on the same wavelength. Both the Italian and the Spaniard railed against the arbitration. “It’s a big mess. They don’t understand us.”, launched Ancelotti for example, while Xavi Hernandez supported him during his tirades. The coaches were subsequently able to discuss with the referees and receive details on their way of deciding during matches, particularly on certain contentious cases such as hands in the areas.
