Legend Johan Cruyff does not spare bitter words about Madrid regarding criticism of this club to referees.
Coaches and players of the team from the Spanish capital do not communicate with the media to protest against unfavorable referee decisions in the 1-1 draw with "Villarreal".
"Real" does not know how to lose and looks for excuses - writes Cruyff in "El Periodico de Catalunya". - There were matches when this team did not deserve a victory, but won it, as well as cases when they did not take advantage of numerous opportunities and had to settle for a draw. It's elementary."
And he added: "But now the Madrid team either wins or sulks. There is simply no middle ground."
Although "Barcelona" has reduced the gap from the leader to six points, the former Dutch national team player considers the Royal club as a favorite to win the championship.
"Barcelona" cannot win the trophy by themselves, no matter how well they play. With 12 rounds left and a 10-point deficit, there may not be enough wins in all matches. But now Pep Guardiola's players have nothing to lose, and due to the narrow margin, Jose Mourinho sees ghosts everywhere," he insists.
