Atlético Madrid wants end to “refereeing harassment” after Mourinho complaints

Real Madrid coach José Mourinho criticised the performance of Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias, the referee for Atlético Madrid's match against Real Madrid, according to sources. Atlético Madrid responded on Monday, calling for an end to "refereeing harassment" in a social media post, which accompanied a video of Mourinho emerging from a printer.

Mourinho argued that Cristian "Cuti" Romero and Lee Kang-in deserved red cards for fouls committed against Real players during the match. Atlético Madrid sits in second place in La Liga, trailing only Barcelona, after a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid on Sunday, leaving Real in fourth place after seven rounds.
