Loud complaints about the refereeing were voiced by its official channel Real after being eliminated 4-2 by Atlético in extra time for the “16” of the Cup. There may not have been a blatant case of injustice, but the guests were “fuming” about the disciplinary control by the referee Guillermo Cuandra Fernandez, but also about the hostile atmosphere in the “Wanda Metropolitano”.
“The Cup is third world. They committed nine fouls in the first half and didn’t even give a yellow card. From the first half you could see the mood of the referee. De Paul should have been sent off and what they did to Brahim and Vinicius is unacceptable. And they haven’t shown a single replay. It is unacceptable to legitimize Atletico’s stick against Real players. What happened today was shameful. Let’s remember that Quadra Fernandez is the Clos Gomez of Atletico Madrid. With Clos Gomez, Barcelona never lost, he is the man who manages the VAR, while with Cuadra Fernandez the refereeing was unacceptable“, were just some of what was heard on Real’s channel.
