On the back of allegations that Barcelona paid referees over the years to rule in their favour, the decision did not sit well with the Madrid side.

Carlo Ancelotti doubted the offside call and voiced his opinion on the matter.

A critical Real Madrid TV

As noted by Football Espana, Real Madrid TV were also very critical of the refereeing during the recent game.

The show produced a four-minute segment on referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea, the VAR officials and the “mistakes” made in the game.

“Nothing surprises us anymore from a referee who always harms Real Madrid with his mistakes. We already knew that. With De Burgos Bengoetxea, we would have to fight against twelve. His regrettable refereeing prevented Madrid’s victory at the Camp Nou. An incessant drip of errors, always in the same direction,” the programme went on to state.
