And the issue did not stop here, as Barcelona President Josep Bartomeo went more than that, accusing Merengue - without naming him - that he was benefiting from the controversial decisions that the "mouse" interfered with.
"The mouse is not up to our aspirations. After returning from hiatus, there were a lot of matches that were not equal, as [the team] was favored, while many teams were unlucky," Bartomeo said in a media interview.
"The mouse is supposed to help the referees, but in previous games, everyone watched clips that the mouse had to intervene and resolve matters, but it didn't."
The accusations continued by some Spanish analysts and reached the point where the arbitration decisions and the fugitive are the reason for the Real wins and the ranking table, and most of the analyzes after the Real matches focused on this point.
Which prompted coach Zinedine Zidane and Commander Ramos, to break their silence and respond to the shocking attack on the team.
The beginning is with the angry "Zizou" who said after the Bilbao match that "it is easy to talk about controversial situations but it is not the issue, we are doing amazing work. We offer all of our things on the field and we deserve everything we achieve. I don't like getting into these discussions but we cannot I accept hearing that the referees âdecisions are the reason we lead the championship. We deserve more respect for what we do and are upset by the talk of some that we are winning because of the referees.â
As for Ramos, he confirmed - after the Bilbao match too - "We will not win the League title because of the referees, and we will not lose it because of them as well, and we are not in the lead in the tournament because of the referees, because they did not do anything decisive."
This is at the team level, but the fans also responded strongly, as the account of one of the Real fans on Twitter posted a series of tweets, which he attached to videos from the 2019-2020 season. .
"We are publishing these tweets because some wanted to win virtual battles and take them to the field," the account added.
