Mourinho prints out 'red card' incidents after Real lose derby
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho prints out screenshots displaying two incidents he believes should have resulted in Atletico Madrid dismissals.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho presented a printed sheet of screenshots to his post-match news conference, claiming the referee made two critical errors that should have resulted in Atletico Madrid players being sent off. Mourinho argued Real Madrid should have been awarded two red cards in the first half of their 2-1 defeat by Atletico Madrid.
The incidents involved Jude Bellingham and Lee Kang-in, with Mourinho urging the referee for red cards due to dangerous play and dangerous fouls respectively. Mourinho also questioned the appointment of the match officials, expressing hope the decisions were simply mistakes. Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone, however, was pleased with the result and maintained that his team had controlled the match throughout.
The loss leaves Real Madrid in fourth place in the league, five points behind leaders Barcelona, while Atletico sits second.
