Real Madrid won't be able to win LaLiga. Not because of their own merits, because they truly deserve it, but because they won't be allowed to. This is the conclusion drawn in the Madrid locker room after drawing 1-1 against Osasuna at El Sadar.
Real Madrid experienced another disgraceful performance by Munuera Montero officiating. Uncalled penalties and an unjust expulsion of Jude Bellingham have caused great anger in Madrid.
Real Madrid explodes after Osasuna incident
Real Madrid couldn't have been more furious about Munuera Montero's performance in the match against Osasuna. Ancelotti's team requested up to two penalties that weren't called during the course of the match, which could have completely changed the final result of the 1-1 draw.
Right at the start of the match, Catena prevented Vinícius from carrying out a dangerous action, stopping the ball with his hand. The Brazilian forward couldn't believe the referee's decision, holding his head in disbelief, being certain at all times that it was a clear penalty.
Minutes later, Munuera Montero also didn't want to call another clear penalty on Vinícius. The Real Madrid forward received a very obvious trip in Osasuna's area, even Ancelotti asked for a "clear penalty," later receiving a yellow card.
Bellingham expelled and unjust penalty for Osasuna
Before the first half ended, and in a completely surprising manner... the referee decided to leave Osasuna with a numerical advantage on the field. He expelled Bellingham after a brief conversation with him, in which it didn't seem at any moment that he hurled any kind of insult.
After the break, he called a penalty on Camavinga after reviewing the VAR, where they showed biased replays. It's true that the Frenchman touched Budimir of Osasuna, but he did so after he shot the ball, without causing any inconvenience. This was the action of the draw, causing Real Madrid to lose two points in the fight for LaLiga.
During the broadcast of the match, Real Madrid's official television was very harsh with the referee's performance: "On Saint Negreira's day, Munuera Montero is honoring his patron saint," they said.
Problems for Real Madrid in LaLiga
Real Madrid is clear that they are being harmed in the last LaLiga matches with the clear objective of not winning the championship. After drawing against Osasuna, they could lose the lead depending on the results obtained by Atlético and Barcelona.
Everything is hanging in the air. It seems that the referees will do everything possible to prevent Ancelotti's team from fighting for the championship title. A shame...
