The duel between Real Madrid and Almería has left many things to comment on. One of the most talked about aspects of the merengue team's comeback was the role of refereeing in this crazy turn of events. For some fans, the VAR played a fundamental role in the white victory and worked against the rojiblancos.
Marc Pubill, Almería player, added fuel to the fire and at the end of the match he made a statement that raised a lot of controversy. The 20-year-old Spanish defender was frontal and criticized the referee's role after his team's 3-2 defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The young defender was proud of the game his squad played, but he threw a poisoned dart at the referee.
“I think the team played a great game (…) Someone decided that we couldn't win here and that the game couldn't end like this”

Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, gave the opposite opinion to the Almería player and considered that the referee's decisions were correct.
“I understand Almería's complaint. They were decisions reviewed by the VAR. I think they have been three fairly clear decisions.”

During his conference, Ancelotti stated that this was a “strange match” and was very critical of his players' performance in the first half.
