Madrid had two goals ruled out within the first 10 minutes of the game and had to rely on a Dani Carvajal goal to get them a point after a David Alaba own-goal gave Sevilla the lead.

As noted by Football Espana, Real Madrid TV slammed De Burgos for his performance, saying he deserved a man of the match award for his performance.

“It’s a sociological scandal what happened today with De Burgos Bengoetxea. The MVP of the match goes to De Burgos Bengoetxea. He has done his job perfectly,” RMTV stated.

The show believed that Federico Valverde’s 4th-minute goal should have stood and was incorrectly ruled out by VAR.

RMTV were also furious with the decision to disallow Jude Bellingham’s goal minutes later. The talented midfielder’s goal was disallowed for a foul during the build-up.

Carlo Ancelotti also annoyed

RMTV were not the only ones left questioning some of the decisions made by the referee and his team.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti addressed it during the press conference, opting to use irony to convey his disgust instead of saying what he really meant, AS reported.

“Irony is the only way to explain myself after that game. If I say what I think about refereeing I’ll be banned for a long time,” he said.

Rudiger and Ramos clash

Antonio Rudiger and Sergio Ramos clashed during the latter's debut game against Real Madrid since his return to the Spanish La Liga.

Ramos spent 16 seasons at Madrid before moving to Paris Saint-Germain two seasons ago.

He returned to La Liga with Sevilla, and got into a heated face-off with Rudiger during his first game against his former side, Sports Brief reported.
