Goodbye La Liga title
Liga - Ronaldo: Madrid always play against 12 men
Cristiano Ronaldo has said referees act against Real Madrid following Barcelona’s 4-3 win in El Clasico.
Barca were awarded two penalties - to Madrid’s one - while Sergio Ramos was shown a straight red card after brining down Neymar for the first spot kick.
Speaking to reporters after the final whistle, Ronaldo, who converted Madrid’s penalty, laid the blame for the result at the feet of referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco.
“We played against 12. It's always the same. They don't allow us. Maybe they wanted Barca back in the League,” the forward said.
“I don't want to leave this inside of me and I’m not looking for excuses, but the ref is not at the required level for a game like this.
“If Barca lost today they would have been out. After five years here, I understand how things work.
“[The media] has been here for many years more than me. I have never seen Real Madrid favoured by the referees.
“I'm sure that no matter all this, we will win the League.”
Football authorities need to do so much more in this area.
That's never going to happen though.Neymar's was the only genuine dive.
Ronaldo's was a very minimal clip but I'm prepared to give him the BOTD. Problem was, it was half a yard outside the box and shouldn't have been a pen.
Iniesta's was a clearcut pen.
What needs changing, and not just because of this match, is the double whammy of a penalty AND a red card for the last man. I'd like to see a rule change such that if the penalty is converted, that offending player stays on the field.
Ángel Di María >>> Bale, Ronaldo and Neymar!As an aside, Neymar & Bale were 180 million Euros of bog average in that game.
Suarez is about as good as both combined and would have come at half price!
I'll take Di Maria anyday. How Real failed to see him as a priority is beyond me!And Madrid fans were prepared to sell Di Maria in a heartbeart instead of losing Ozil.
It's one of those hind-site situations. I know that I'd much rather have Villa in the team than Neymar.Who knows how much they actually paid but the latest reports are Neymar cost Barca over 80 mil. Madness. Serious waste of money and that's before you get to all the drama surrounding the transfer they're suffering atm.
