In Spain, arbitration and Real Madrid, have two expressions that have been going on almost together for a few days because of what they have aroused as a debate on the media.
The Real Madrid club had recently delivered a big show about the refereeing that referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea had shown in the other club games he had refereed.
The Madrid team had even climbed the niche to request the change of the referee on the eve of the King’s Cup final.
These tensions clearly had effects on the performance of the referee during the meeting which saw Barça winning in overtime.
While the Madrid club has been complaining for some time not to be favored by the referees in his games in Spain, the player of another team considers the opposite.
Iago Aspas, the Celta Vigo striker, spoke about the match that his team had delivered against the Madrid club in the round of 16 of the King Cup last January.
According to the Spanish striker, Real Madrid had rather benefited from the favors of the arbitration during this meeting which saw his team be eliminated.
According to Aspas, his team should have benefited from a very blatant penalty, but this was not the case during this meeting.
“Defeat in the King’s Cup against Madrid?” We were not satisfied with the arbitration, in particular because of not having granted an obvious penalty.
What happened there was seen by all the Spaniards. My team is not afraid to return to the Bernabéu ”said Celta Viga striker.
