Real Madrid TV Blasts Referee After Atletico Derby Defeat, Citing Bias and Controversy

Real Madrid TV has launched a fierce critique of referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias after their team's 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid. The club’s official broadcaster accused the referee of biased officiating, even suggesting a connection with Barcelona players that questions the integrity of La Liga refereeing.

Red Card Incident Sparks Outrage

The match was decided by a key moment when Dean Huijsen received a red card for a foul on Giuliano Simeone, which resulted in a penalty. Real Madrid TV argued that the real injustice occurred earlier, claiming both Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-in from Atletico should have been sent off before Huijsen’s dismissal.

Allegations of Manipulation and Intimidation

The broadcaster suggested the game's outcome was manipulated, saying, "We don’t know what would have happened if Atletico had been reduced to nine players. I’m sure many Madrid fans are eager to get up and walk away from this competition." They accused the referee of showing a dismissive, even hostile attitude, especially during incidents involving Lee Kang-in and Fede Valverde.

In a sharp personal attack, Real Madrid TV mentioned, "Ortiz Arias was hanging out with Barcelona players a few weeks ago, and now this. It’s all sickening. They don’t care if the sh*t spills over into Javier Tebas’s La Liga."

Claims of Systemic Bias Against Real Madrid

The channel maintained that there is a deliberate agenda preventing Real Madrid from competing fairly in Spanish football. They stated, "There’s a different standard when it comes to Madrid. They don’t let them compete. But these are the plans of La Liga and the RFEF."

They further questioned the fairness of the penalty decision against Huijsen, adding, "Given how the refereeing has gone, I doubt they would have sent off an Atletico player in the other penalty area, the way they did with Huijsen. The football debate doesn’t make sense."

Looking Ahead After Controversial Match

This explosive broadcast ensures the discussion about refereeing in Spain will continue. Meanwhile, Real Madrid must focus on regrouping. They face the challenge of reinforcing their defense without the suspended Huijsen as they seek to recover from this setback.
