Mourinho rages at refereeing after Atlético’s 2-1 win vs Real Madrid

Atlético took the Madrid derby with a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid this Sunday, and the post-match talking point quickly moved off the pitch. José Mourinho, Real Madrid’s coach, was particularly outspoken about what he believes were refereeing mistakes.

As RMC Sport reports, Mourinho backed his complaints with two printed photos, arguing there were errors that affected the match. His comments were blunt, including a jab at “the poor referee,” and he made it clear he wanted his version to be understood with specific visual evidence.
