Jonathan David winner helps Atlético Madrid down Real Madrid
(opens the publisher’s site)Atlético Madrid beat Real Madrid 2-1 in Sunday's derby, after which José Mourinho condemned the Spanish refereeing committee.
- Atlético Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2-1 on Sunday, with Jonathan David scoring the winner at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
- Dean Huijsen gave away a penalty and was sent off after 52 minutes, enabling Alejandro Grimaldo's opening goal from the spot.
- Mourinho said the referee failed to manage the match and questioned the appointment of a 41-year-old referee with no international experience.
- Madrid sought a red card for Atlético's Cristian Romero after he stepped on Jude Bellingham's leg, though a VAR review yielded only a yellow.
- Federico Valverde will miss two to three weeks with a left ankle injury from Atlético's Kang-in Lee challenge, and will skip Uruguay's international break.
- Real Madrid lodged an official complaint over the derby refereeing, saying Ortiz Arias should have sent off Romero and punished Kang-in Lee for a foul on Valverde.
- Romero told Bellingham “you are too whiny” during their altercation, according to ESPN.
- A halftime tunnel clash prompted security intervention, and referee Ortiz Arias sent off two coaching staff members.
- Mourinho questioned the Negreira case's impact on Barcelona's titles and arrived with printed screenshots of disputed incidents.
- Atlético coach Diego Simeone called for restraint in response to Mourinho's criticism, saying crossing the line of respect is unacceptable.
- Spain's refereeing committee concluded Kang-in Lee deserved a red card and Romero's foul could have warranted one, while Huijsen's sending-off was correct.
