Yesterdays refereeing was a farce. Not only that Aspas first yellow was already uncalled for, as it was understandable for him to argue about the clear handball, but the second yellow for diving when Ramos clearly fouled him was one the most ridiculously wrong decisions I have seen. lately.
I really do not want to go into the usual conspiracy theories because it is even sadder that Barcelona could still have won the league easily with any halfway decent coach.
Even if Vigo had managed to beat Real yesterday I only would be wondering what stroke of genius Lucho would have to still fuck this up against Eibar.
I don't know about all countries, but in lots of countries where they have political problems, it often happens that one club is a political symbol of a country and that a government is connected with that club.
More or less, it is for "a good of the country" that "their symbol" club is winning trophies.
If some fans are coming from a country without huge political problems, without wars in recent history and without a part of a country trying to get independent, it is probably hard for you to understand the connection between Spain, their football federation and Real Madrid.
My country has been a part of two countries in the last 30 years. In the old country, one club was a symbol of a country (Red Star Belgrade in Yugoslavia) and refs and the government always wanted for their pride of a country to be a champion.
Later in Croatia, we got rid of Yugoslavia and of their Crvena Zvezda, but now our country has equal political and ideological problems and Dinamo Zagreb has been turned into a pride and a symbol of Croatia and 80-90% referees are helping them.
The same crap is happening in 10s of corrupted countries or in countries like Spain where Catalonia doesn't want to be a part of Spain.
I am sure that fans from more "normal" countries like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Usa, etc where all parts of the country are equal and where one Swedish club is not "more Swedish" than the other one, can't completely understand this problem.
Football is there about sports and fair play, and not about politics.
So, it is not about a conspiracy theories and bribing refs.
It goes way deeper into symbolic and political things.
In short, 80% of refs will always help to Rm.
Spanish federation will always want Rm to win. They will help them on field, in fixtures, in lengths of suspensions etc.
That is not something which started today.
This lasts for decades and it will continue in the future.
Also, you can't make an appeal to anyone, since a federation and government share the same view that Rm is Spain and Catalonia are enemies of the Spain and that's it.
Rm will always get a help from ref and Barca needs to be at least 10% better to win La liga.
