Leganes manager Borja Jimenez was diplomatic about officializing during their 3-2 defeat against Real Madrid on Saturday evening, with the road furious about various decisions that went against them. In the run -up to the match, Jimenez had noticed that the three major teams could not complain about referees, despite the Real Madrid campaign to present themselves as the primary victim of.
Los Pepineros was frustrated by a criminal decision against them, but then saw two challenges of Raul Asencio and Jude Bellingham in the second half. The free kick from which Kylian Mbappe took the winner was also disputed by the road. However, Jimenez tried to lower the tone of Leganes' complaints after the game.
“I'm not going to complain today. Let's see if we're lucky with the draws. I said it on Friday, and I will always say it again: those of us at the bottom or at the top have little right to complain. I have a lot of faith in the referee system, but we are very lucky.
“I am talking about following the dynamics of all clubs, who speak and follow the same line. That is positive for us.”
According to Diario AS, Leganes have no plans to increase their complaints. The ever -infamous Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes was in the eye of the storm. The social media account of Leganes was much less diplomatic and tweeted 'what' after the Penalty Award from Real Madrid. They also took a picture of the challenge of Asencio and ended the night by saying 'and moreover they also rob us of an hour', referring to the fact that the clocks went ahead in Spain at night.
“I don't think it's a lack of competence, far from it. I was lucky to talk to him- referee Gonzalez Fuertes- before the game started. He didn't have his best day, as we could happen to us. He will be self-critical, but I have the greatest respect for him. We have had paths again.”
However, Jimenez did not hide his players were furious about the issue.
“They are very angry because we saw the actions and they are indignant, angry; I tried to let them appreciate what they did to let the team play well here. We had the 2-3 chance as soon as we admitted. Madrid dominated, they had our close to the punishment, but we knew we had to be like that.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti noted that he was decisions that were against Leganes gray areas and that they also had some right to complain. On the other hand, Andriy Lunin the press told that a better defensive performance on his part would have prevented any controversy. Leganes remain in the relegation zone, level on points with Alaves, while Real Madrid goes the same as Barcelona at the top of the table.
