“This filthy Negreira league” – RMTV slam refereeing performance during Real Madrid’s draw at Rayo Vallecano | OneFootball

On Saturday, Real Madrid dropped points yet again in La Liga as they were held to a 3-3 draw against Rayo Vallecano. However, the defending champions, who had come back from 2-0 down at one stage to lead 3-2, were furious at the refereeing performance of Juan Martinez Munuera.

According to Real Madrid TV (via Diario AS), Carlo Ancelotti’s side were denied a number of big decisions by Martinez Munuera, including two penalties.

“A disastrous refereeing once again, who has failed to whistle two very clear penalties. The first, a push to Guler that has not been whistled and, the second, a kick from Mumin to Vinicius that has not been signalled either. Before that play, Vinicius was going on a counter-attack at a gallop and they caught him. That’s when Vinicius turned and asked the referee to give him a yellow card. Can you guess who Martinez Munuera has given a card to? Vinicius, who misses the match against Sevilla due to accumulation of cards. This tires us, it sounds familiar to us many times. This smells like burning. You lose two points on a really difficult ground.

“Today, Martinez Munuera has made very serious mistakes again and always in the same direction. In a match that ends 3-3, these two actions are decisive. It is a refereeing trend always in the same direction. This is what happens in this filthy Negreira league. Then, you can talk about sporting issues and Real Madrid’s problems, but this is not the important thing. The important thing is the filthy Negreira League that Real Madrid has suffered again today. Do we have to improve things? No doubt. But the filthy Negreira league doesn’t invite us to talk about football, it invites us to talk about the fact that there is always a victim, which is Real Madrid. You are missing two points to fight for La Liga.”

Real Madrid will not be happy about dropping points at Vallecas, especially as they have now ceded the advantage that they had over Barcelona, who can go four points clear (having played a game more) if they defeat Leganes on Sunday.
