Real Madrid has already played its first LaLiga match. No surprises: the same dull play and the same star as always, the referee.
Thanks to Adrián Cordero Vega, the referee of the Real Madrid-Osasuna match, Xabi Alonso finished his debut at Bernabéu with a victory. In the old Ancelotti style, with poor play and relying entirely on the penalty... which came.
The propaganda silences the Bernabéu scandal
It came in the second half, when there seemed to be no way for Real Madrid to score a goal.
In addition, with the expulsion of an opponent. The penalty wasn't a penalty and Rubén García didn't deserve to be sent off. But the refereeing class couldn't allow Real Madrid to open the season at home without a celebration.
Last season, the white team, which wasn't the one that entered the box the most, was still the king of penalties. 14 in favor and 3 against.
The champion, Barça, had 8 penalties in favor and 4 against. There are still classes.
The king of penalties
It's the only ranking in which Real Madrid clearly prevailed last season. Even so, according to Real Madrid TV and all the media at the service of Florentino Pérez, Negreira is still rigging the competition.
We've started a new season, but nothing has changed in the Madridist narrative. If there's white glory, epic, crest, heart... If there's misery, like last year, fraud, rigged league, etc.
Barça started by winning on Saturday in Mallorca by 3-0. Barça put on a display of play with a stellar Lamine Yamal: 2-0 at the 23rd minute. A scandalous result seemed imminent.
But the match ended at the 33rd minute, with 2-0 on the scoreboard, when Morlanes left the field after two clear bookings. At the 37th minute, Muriqi planted his studs in Joan García's face and was also sent off. All of that, with 2-0 on the scoreboard.
Then Barça just passed the time and didn't run up the score, leaving it at 3-0. The propaganda machine at the service of Florentino wanted to see a red card in a foul by Raphinha, the usual, and the 3-0 became a referee's gift.
Barça won effortlessly against 11, against 10, and against 9, but for the servile media of Florentino, that was a scandalous robbery.
The narrative of the media at the service of Real Madrid
It's the Madridist narrative. Three days talking about the same thing. Barça benefits from the double refereeing standard.
Last night Real Madrid played. A terrible match that the referee saved with a miraculous penalty.
Mbappé steps on the Osasuna defender, dives, and penalty. Then, a red card for a rojillo player.
The referee solved the match for Real Madrid once again. Once again, the propaganda machine that protects Florentino Pérez and his interests, silent.
That Real Madrid TV doesn't echo the refereeing mistakes that favor the white team is understandable. After all, it's Florentino's personal channel, his toy, and it bears his signature. For the rest to whistle and look the other way when they've spent two days tarnishing Barça's win in Mallorca...
Tomás Roncero has no complaints about the referee of Real Madrid-Osasuna
Tomás Roncero, for example, in his match summary, didn't find any refereeing anomaly. Of course not, those things are reserved for Barça, with or without reason.
For Roncero, Real Madrid won because Mbappé can handle everything. Not a single line about the contribution of the referee's wild card. It's the way to write the interested, biased, and sectarian narrative.
Social alarm when there's something related to Barça. If it's small, they make sure to blow it out of proportion.
If the beneficiary is Real Madrid, silence reigns and in two days no one remembers. That's what propagandists are for, to make sure we all remember what matters.
The newspaper Marca asked today for a little restraint: "not everything can be protested," it said. Of course, protesting everything is reserved for Barça's matches. Like the one in Mallorca, where not even the tremendous blaugrana superiority with 11 against 11 is respected.
