In France and Spain, arbitration is at the heart of controversies. If Pablo Longoria caused a real earthquake at the end of OM defeat against Auxerre this Saturday (0-3), Real Madrid, meanwhile, denounces arbitral decisions in La Liga for several weeks already. While the Merengue receive Girona this Sunday afternoon in the league, the Bernabéu public openly expressed his distrust of arbitration.
While a photo and the message ” Referees, all with you Were displayed on the giant screens of the speaker, as is customary before each match in Spain, COPE reports that a good part of the Madrid audience made her anger heard by launching many whistles. Pressure on the arbitral body is not likely to decrease in Liga, which has to face very many criticisms in recent weeks.
