“Real Madrid complains officially after the defeat against Espanyol!” |

– In an unusual step, Real Madrid announced today, Monday, that it filed an official complaint against the arbitration team, which ran its match against Espanyol, which ended with a loss of 1-0 in the 22nd round of the Spanish League.

An official statement and sharp criticism
The Royal Club statement said:
“A formal complaint was submitted to the Spanish Football Association and the Supreme Council of Sports, due to the serious arbitration errors in the match.”

Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of the team, had expressed his anger at the arbitration decisions, noting that the failure of an Espanyol player after his violent intervention on Killian Mbappe was a “incomprehensible” decision.

The lead racing is burning
Despite the defeat, Real Madrid is still leading the La Liga table with 49 points, just one point behind its second -placed rival Atletico Madrid (48 points), before the upcoming fiery confrontation between them in the capital’s derby next Saturday.
