“Shameful”, Laporta criticized the refereeing of the match against Almeria

FC Barcelona did not appreciate the referee last night during the match between Real Madrid and Almeria. After Barcelona’s win against Betis Sevilla, Xavi had already broached the subject: “Everyone watched the refereeing during the Real Madrid – Almeria match. I already said after the Getafe game that I don’t like the way things have gone this season, and it shows. Regarding the refereeing of the Madrid match, I just want to repeat the words of Garitano (Almeria coach, very sour after the match). Alfredo Rellano (who published an editorial condemning the favoritism given to Real) also has an opinion. He is a very good journalist.“

Laporta wakes up a “shame”!

Today John LaPorta spoke about this meeting. And he didn’t mince his words when talking about “shame”: “What happened at the Bernabeu is a shame. The referee group must respond to the series of pressures placed on referees this season. If there is no response it makes us uncomfortable because I understand that there is an abdication of their duties.” said the Barça president at the Mundo Deportivo gala. There is no doubt that this will not ease the tension between the two eternal rivals…
