"Barcelona" defender Gerard Pique believes that Madrid's "Real" club has a significant advantage in "La Liga" championships - favorable referees. The veteran spoke about it to the "Post United" publication. "One day a former referee says that 85 percent of referees are from Madrid. So how will they not whistle in favor of 'Real'? Even unconsciously - how will these referees not support one side more? I respect the professionalism of the referees and I know that they try to do their job as best as possible, but when the moment comes, doubts arise..." - said G. Pique. This season, both Madrid and Barcelona teams have received 36 yellow cards each, and "Real" has also earned one red card. Last year, the capital club had slightly more favorable statistics (72 and 83 yellow cards, 3 red cards each).
