Atlético Madrid CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín took aim at Spanish referees after the “unacceptable” events that unfolded in the club’s 2–1 defeat to Barcelona at the weekend.
The first of three upcoming matches between the two Spanish giants kicked off at the Metropolitano on Saturday evening, where controversy marred yet another high profile La Liga match. Barcelona defender Gerard Martín was originally sent off by referee Mateo Busquets Ferrer after a brutal tackle on Thiago Almada.
