Carlo Ancelotti expressed his discontent over a penalty awarded to Atlético Madrid during their recent derby match against Real Madrid, emphasizing that 'football people don't understand' such decisions. The penalty, converted by Julián Álvarez, put Atlético ahead before Kylian Mbappé equalized for Madrid. This match left Madrid only a point ahead in LaLiga. Ancelotti's comments reflect a larger concern regarding refereeing, as Real Madrid has recently lodged a complaint about officiating, calling for a reform of the current system. Diego Simeone defended the referee, suggesting interpretations of decisions can vary among spectators.
Football people don't understand penalties like the one awarded to Atlético Madrid, reflecting a broader conversation about refereeing standards in LaLiga.
I think we deserved more. We had total control, we scored... the penalty affected the team, obviously... we leave with a good feeling.
The first half was totally different... much slower, and less aggressive. With what we did in the second half, we leave with a good feeling.
I think the referee did his best with his decisions... I thought [the referee] had an OK game.
