Barcelona Claim La Liga Has Been Rigged for Real Madrid to Win This Season

• Barcelona believe Real Madrid are being strongly favoured to win La Liga
• Real Madrid sit top of La Liga with 12 points from their opening four games
• Barcelona are just two points shy of Real Madrid at the top of the table

Barcelona are accusing Real Madrid of being favoured by referees to win the 2023/24 La Liga trophy after only four matchdays into the new campaign.

Los Blancos have maintained a 100 percent winning start to the new season, amassing a total of 12 points from their opening four games, while Barcelona have three wins from four matches.

According to Barca Universal, the Catalan giants are unhappy with most of the refereeing decisions that have taken place so far this season, claiming that Real Madrid are being favoured by match officials.

The reigning La Liga champions highlighted that Jude Bellingham’s potential handball against Almeria was not punished, and that Athletic Club were denied a penalty against Real Madrid despite a blatant foul by Eder Militao.

Barcelona furthermore claimed that the quality of refereeing in La Liga remains questionable and must be looked into immediately following the incidents that have favoured Real Madrid this season.

Madrid discontent with refereeing decisions

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are starting their own internal investigations on alleged refereeing decisions favouring Barcelona in the ongoing La Liga season in response to the Catalan club’s previous allegations, Madrid Universal reports.

Los Blancos’ gaze lingers upon Barcelona’s recent encounters with a sense of scepticism, as they harbour a growing belief that certain officiating decisions during matches have tipped the scales in their favour.

Real Madrid specifically believe that referees aided Barcelona’s victories against Osasuna and Villarreal and have promised to scrutinise every decision made by referees in the games involving the Catalan giants.
