Real Madrid TV on the Attack After El Clasico: Masterclass on the Pitch, but Tailored Officiating
Real Madrid's official television channel launched a fierce attack on the match officiating following their 2-1 victory over Barcelona in El Clasico. Despite the triumph at Camp Nou, the club's in-house broadcast channel voiced strong frustration over VAR's performance, questioning the decisions made in three pivotal moments during the game.
"Real Madrid put on a show, but VAR was working to order," Real Madrid TV stated during their post-match analysis.
The channel also hit back at critics who argue that the Madrid club only brings up refereeing issues following unfavorable results.
"We just won El Clasico, so let us say it now," the broadcaster emphasized.
The broadcaster's primary complaints centered around three contentious incidents.
"Why didn't VAR review Cancelo treading on Diomande? Why wasn't Yamal treading on Bellingham checked? Why didn't VAR look into Balde's handball?" Real Madrid TV questioned.
Thus, despite claiming victory in Spanish football's biggest fixture, the club once again cast doubt over the video assistant referees' display, demanding an explanation for the controversial calls.
