Africa-Press – Nigeria. Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone has claimed Real Madrid receive preferential treatment from referees.
Simeone was reacting after Angel Correa was shown a straight red card in the 1-1 draw with their rivals on Saturday.
Referee Gil Manzano sent off Correa in the 64th minute following an elbow to Antonio Rudiger’s chest with the score at 0-0.
“It may be a yellow [card] but taking a player out for that, there would be no players left on the field.
“It’s the same story. It is normal, and it has become normal [refereeing favouring Madrid] and that’s not right and it would be nice if we could all compete in the same way,” Simeone told DAZN after the game.
