Mourinho Blames Refereeing After Real Madrid's Derby Loss
After Real Madrid's 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium on September 20, Jose Mourinho, the current coach of Real Madrid, expressed his outrage towards La Liga's refereeing committee. In his post-match press conference, he presented printed photographs of incidents he believed altered the game's outcome.
Mourinho claimed that Atletico's Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-in should have received red cards for dangerous tackles on Federico Valverde in the first half. Instead, Real Madrid ended the match with 10 men after Dean Huijsen was sent off for a foul on Giuliano Simeone, leading to a penalty converted by Alejandro Grimaldo.
Jonathan David extended Atletico's lead before Antonio Rudiger scored a late goal for Real. Mourinho specifically criticized referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias and VAR official Daniel Jesus Trujillo, referencing the Negreira scandal and expressing his suspicions about officiating integrity.
Following the match, Real Madrid prohibited their players from speaking to the media.
