Diego Simeone called José Mourinho’s response to the refereeing controversies that dominated Sunday’s Madrid derby defeat against city rivals Atlético “unacceptable” and accused his rival of “crossing the line.”
As a club, Real Madrid issued a statement soon after the final whistle decrying the “terrible refereeing” of Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias. Meanwhile, Mourinho arrived at his postgame press conference with printed images presented as ‘evidence’ Atlético should have had two red cards.
