The leaders of the Madrid "Real" team were still throwing lightning bolts at the referee after their 3:2 victory in the Spanish capital derby against the "Atletico" club.

The press in this country reports that the anger of the representatives of the royal team was drawn by the match referee Jose Montero.

At the very end of the match, the referee decided to send off "Real" player Federico Valverde for a rough foul.

However, the "whites" believe that the referee was overly strict and that showing a yellow card would have been sufficient.

The "Real," who intend to appeal the decision, believes that the referees for their eternal rivals "Barcelona" do not harm them as often.
