Madríd's "Real" leader Cristiano Ronaldo did not spare criticism for the referee after the "El Clasico" battle.
In the match of the Spanish championship at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium in Madrid, "Real" lost 3:4 to Barcelona.
"We could have finally pulled away from the Barcelona club, but they are still here. Some should be very pleased," Ronaldo quipped. "I hope we won't have this referee for the Spanish Cup final, because he simply doesn't have the necessary level for such battles. He was completely pale and very nervous.
"We will have to fight against the whole world to win this "Liga" title. Some really don't want to see "Real" at the top. They interfere, they don't want us to win the "Liga" title. It's too much already. It's been happening for five years. Tonight we played against 12 opponents, and it's always similar."
However, in blaming the referee for all the troubles, Ronaldo forgot that "Real" was awarded a penalty kick, which was not there, when in the 54th minute of the match the Barcelona defender D. Alves illegally stopped the Portuguese before the penalty area line.
