Mourinho criticised in Spain after Atlético derby defeat and refereeing row | OneFootball

After a controversial 2-1 defeat to Atlético in the Madrid derby, the former Benfica coach railed against the officiating and the Comité Técnico de Árbitros over the appointment of Órtiz Arias. According to Mundo Deportivo, he is being accused of using those complaints to disguise a poor Real Madrid display.

The front page carried the headline 'Teatro do Mal'. It also recalled that seven months earlier, while in charge of Benfica, he had complained about referees aiding Real Madrid.

The Catalan daily also highlighted that after seven La Liga rounds, Real Madrid have covered the fewest kilometres per game, averaging 83.46. Elche, under Martín Anselmi, lead this measure with 105.61, with Barcelona second on 104.64.

Real Madrid sit fourth in La Liga on 21 points, six behind leaders Barcelona. The champions have a perfect record so far.

To date, Mourinho’s side have two league defeats, 1-0 to Betis alongside the Atlético loss.
