very weak refereeing not in terms of bad decisions but in term of weak stances and poor handling and/or control a side effect of the introduction of VAR and of the over-scrutinizing of referees, they are now afraid to call a contested foul and just wait for the decision in their earpiece creates ambiguity and lessens trust i don’t think either team was poor, Jose blamed or scapegoated the ref by nitpicking and using out of context screenshots, he knows even his genius and personality won’t make him safe from risk under Florentino after the weak recent Madrid era Real were the worse side, deserved to lose my MOTM: Giuliano, won the penalty and assisted the goal, tirelessly ran up and down the pitch
