On Saturday evening, Real Madrid validated a third consecutive success in the championship by overthrowing majority at home (2-1), in a match where the referee canceled three Madrilenic goals: two of Kylian Mbappé and one from Arda Güler. Asked about this in press conference, coach Xabi Alonso briefly expressed his disagreement with certain decisions.

“The fourth referee said that it was necessary to play immediately. It is the interpretation of the referee, mine was different at that time. It would have been an important goal. It is his interpretation and it is he who decides. He made this decision ”he admitted, before evoking video arbitration. “Me too, it surprised me. These are errors that should not happen. You have to think about overcurrent and correct use. I do not think that it is necessary to re-stop all the situations, but when it is done, it must be properly. ” The former coach of Bayer Leverkusen addressed the referee at the final whistle, still on the lawn of the Santiago Bernabéu.
