On Monday, the sports front pages of major newspapers were dominated by Atlético de Madrid's thrilling 2-1 victory over Real Madrid. The intense derby was further fueled by Atlético's coach José Mourinho's vehement criticism of the refereeing decisions during the match. This controversy joined forces with Barcelona news, Valencia's ongoing crisis, and other league clashes in the headlines.
Real Madrid found themselves in a precarious fourth-place position, teetering on the brink of collapse following their defeat. Marca newspaper headlined its coverage with "Atleti have fun and Mou explodes," emphasizing Mourinho's protests after Huijsen's red card and the potential red cards not shown to Romero and Kang-in Lee. AS newspaper described the match as "Great Atleti, refereeing firestorm," underscoring Madrid's poor performance against Atlético's relentless drive.
In contrast, Catalan newspapers took a more aggressive stance. Sport newspaper labeled Mourinho as "Unhinged" after he appeared at the press conference with screenshots to attack the refereeing. Mundo Deportivo summed up Real Madrid's dismal performance by stating "A collapse and excuses," mentioning the goals scored by Jonathan David and Grimaldo.
