The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, denounced Tuesday pro-Madrid arbitration.
Real Madrid won a controversial victory against Almeria (3-2) in the last La Liga match on Sunday. Although they trailed 0-2 at half-time, Madrid turned the tide thanks to three contested refereeing decisions, including a penalty awarded for a handball by Kaiky, which occurred while he was pushed by Joselu.
This victory sparked intense controversy in Spain, particularly on the side of FC Barcelona. The president of the Catalan club, Joan Laporta, criticized the arbitration in favor of Real Madrid during an interview with the Catalan daily Mundo Deportivo.
“We can no longer distort the competition with decisions like that of last Sunday at the Bernabéu,” Laporta judged. Because it’s not just about this Sunday. We have analyzed the issue and our opponents have already gained a certain number of points by benefiting from refereeing decisions. But I must say that we are used to this, we have always fought against the elements and we know them. »
