This is the subject of the moment in Spain. For a few weeks now, refereeing has been at the heart of the debates on football fields such as on TV sets or press conference rooms. With each passage in front of journalists, Carlo Ancelotti is also cooked on the subject, he whose club considers to be the victim of several arbitration errors. The Spanish Champion stable has also multiplied the press releases to be heard, especially after the defeat against Espanyol Barcelona where Carlos Romero, who scored the goal of victory, should have been expelled after his tackle On Kylian Mbappé.
