Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho arrived in the Metropolitano’s press room on Sunday evening knowing exactly who to blame for his side’s 2-1 defeat by city rivals Atletico Madrid. “We can skip the press conference as the story of the game is here: they are two clear red cards,” said a scowling Mourinho, holding printed-out photos of challenges made in the first half by Atletico players Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-in. The game’s referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias, aged 41, was too “young and inexperienced” to handle such a high-pressure game, Mourinho said. The coach also suggested the VAR, Daniel Jesus Trujillo Suarez, might have an agenda against Madrid, and that other officials were favouring their rivals with “laughable” recent decisions. But all this ranting and raving meant there was no time spent discussing what was quite a poor display by Mourinho’s team, especially when the game was 11 against 11. 📝 @dermotmcorrigan 🔗
