Carlo Ancelotti is adamant that he 'has nothing to say' about the referee -contacts who seizes his Real Madrid side after Jude Bellingham's who send away on Saturday, but that he remains 'unhappy' with decisions against his side.
The international of England received a straight red card for the reportedly 'f *** off' in the direction of referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero during the 39th minute of the draw from his side against Osasuna.
But Munuera Montero has argued that the 21-year-old actually said 'F *** U' to him and earned him the broadcast for dirty or offensive language.
The incident – and the language differences between the two sentences – have been discussed on a large scale by Spanish media, whereby some points of sale claim that Real Madrid is considered so angry with the apparent inconsistencies in the official that the party is considering a consideration from Laliga.
Ancelotti defended his player in the aftermath of the draw with their LaLiga rivals and remains disappointed about the standard of referee in Spain.
Speaking in his press conference before they were confronted with Manchester City in their play-off tie of Champions League, Ancelotti said: “(I have) nothing to say, I have already given my opinion about what happened and happened.
'It's pretty surprising and I have nothing to add. We are not happy with what happened against Osasuna, Atlético … Three games in which we were disadvantaged and I don't understand. '
Ancelotti added that he was less concerned about officializing standards in the European top flight because “the statistics speak for themselves.”
“In Europe there is less controversy and fewer interventions, it is done when needed,” Ancelotti continued. “In the Champions League, the best referees from every country and the quality are very high.”
The former head coach of Chelsea and AC Milan added that he hoped that his player would 'not be punished' for his actions and would remain available if the team is at the top of the table with Barcelona.
On Monday, Real Madrid saw the referee (CTA) meet about another assessing problem that took place at the beginning of the month during their collision with Espanyol.
Kylian Mbappe was brought down by Carlos Romero in the 61st minute of their meeting on 1 February, but in a movement that was considered 'inexplicable' by Ancelotti after the last whistle, Romero only received a yellow card instead of a straight red.
The defender then remained on the field to score the 85th minute winner before his side and to apologize at Mbappe for full-time for the awkwardness of the challenge.
According to Marca, the sources of Real Madrid shared that “the CTA (denied) a negative bias towards Madrid, but the club sees it and has expressed it as such.”
