Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti launched a furious tirade at officials after a “made up” handball decision cost his side against Girona at the weekend.
The reigning La Liga champions looked en route to victory at the Santiago Bernabeu after Brazilian sensation Vinicius Jr had given them the lead in the 70th minute. Controversy struck though with the referee electing that Marco Asensio had committed a handball offence as Los Blancos attempted to defend a set piece.
Former Middlesbrough striker Christhian Stuani equalised from the penalty spot but the referee was not quite finished having an impact on the match. Rodrygo thought he had restored Real’s lead in the final moments but his goal was chalked off for an apparent foul on the Girona goalkeeper before Toni Kroos was awarded a red card in stoppage time.
