Madrid's "Real" leader Sergio Ramos fiercely defended the controversial decision made by the referee to award a penalty kick during the "El Clasico" match. The football player who fell in the penalty area later managed to beat the "Barcelona" goalkeeper himself, turning the result in favor of his team (2:1). As it later became clear, this was a pivotal moment in the match - "Real" triumphed 3:1. "It was a very clear penalty kick. To me, it was a very clear action. Referees and VAR are there to help us," said S. Ramos. The veteran was happy that the team finally managed to break the losing streak. "We always need to stay united and not regret bad streaks or poor results. We are happy to earn three points, it will be emotionally very beneficial for the future. It is always very important to beat eternal rivals," he added.
