José Mourinho and Real Madrid let a two-pronged assault on the officials after Sunday’s 2–1 loss to Atlético Madrid. Not even an hour after the humbling derby defeat did the club release an official statement, condemning the “terrible refereeing” of Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias in Sunday’s heated affair.
Los Blancos made the short trip to the Metropolitano on Sunday for the first Madrid derby of the season and nothing went as planned for Mourinho’s men. They were held quiet in the first half and then quickly went down a man in the second after Dean Huijsen was sent off for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity on Giuliano Simeone.
