Furious Mourinho holds up pictures of ref 'errors' after Madrid derby defeat
Following a two to one defeat against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho brought photographic evidence of controversial fouls to his post-match media session. Mourinho directed sharp criticism toward referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias for failing to dismiss Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-in for rough challenges on Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde during the match.
During the encounter, defender Dean Huijsen received a red card for bringing down Giuliano Simeone within the penalty area, which led to a successful spot-kick by Alejandro Grimaldo. Jonathan David extended the advantage for Atletico shortly afterward, while Antonio Rudiger managed to score a late header for the visitors.
In the aftermath, the club released an official statement echoing their manager's frustrations regarding the officiating at the stadium.
