Refereeing and Real Madrid
Real Madrid won 2-0 against Real Sociedad thanks to two penalties as reported by AS on its front page. This victory snatched thanks to penalties has revived questions about pro-Madrid refereeing. According to the Catalan media SportReal have been awarded four penalties in the space of 5 La Liga games. Each time in moments when Real were being pushed around. Then yesterday’s second penalty using VAR was very controversial. It’s a never-ending story for the newspaper. Quite the opposite for the newspaper ASwhich explains that the two penalties are incontestable. As is often the case, pro-Madrid and pro-Catalan newspapers indirectly confront each other.
Haaland is unanimous
As usual, it was Erling Haaland who saved City by scoring twice. He is making a historic start to the season, as no player before him has scored more goals in the first four games of a Premier League campaign. Since joining City in 2022, Haaland has 99 goals in 103 games in all competitions. The verdict is simple for the Daily Star : no one can stop the Norwegian.
