Real Madrid outraged.

The 1-1 draw between Real Madrid and Girona in La Liga's 31st round on the morning of April 11th sparked a major controversy regarding the refereeing.

The controversial incident occurred in the 80th minute, when Kylian Mbappe penetrated the penalty area and beat defender Victor Reis. In an attempt to stop him, Reis allegedly made contact with the French striker's face, causing him to fall to the ground. However, referee Javier Alberola Rojas did not consider this a foul.

Furthermore, the VAR team, led by referee Trujillo Suarez, did not intervene to change the decision. This means Real Madrid lost a golden opportunity to secure all three points at a crucial stage of the tournament.

Immediately after the match ended, Real Madrid TV (RMTV), the club's official television channel, strongly criticized the refereeing. In their post-match analysis, the channel stated that the home team "played poorly but also suffered the consequences of shameful decisions."

RMTV asserted, based on multiple camera angles, that the collision with Mbappe was "a clear penalty" as the Girona defender not only made contact with his face but also tackled him with his foot. Notably, the channel also reiterated the controversial phrase "Negreira League," alluding to suspicions of a lack of transparency in refereeing in Spain.

On social media, Real Madrid fan forums unanimously called this a scandal and severely criticized referee Rojas.

The disastrous draw has virtually ended Real Madrid's hopes of overtaking Barcelona in La Liga. "Los Blancos" risk falling nine points behind their rivals if Barcelona beat Espanyol on the night of April 11th.

Bayern triumphs, Real Madrid reveals its limitations. Bayern Munich left the Bernabeu with a spirited 2-1 victory, while Real Madrid endured a forgettable night, losing control of the game and making repeated mistakes.
