Former Real Madrid midfielder Claude Makelele has urged the club to stop blaming the officials for their derby defeat to Atletico Madrid at the weekend, insisting that the referees should not be used as “scapegoats” for the team’s poor performance.
Recall that Real Madrid were left furious with several refereeing decisions following the 2-1 loss at the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday, with the club and manager Jose Mourinho questioning the officiating in the aftermath of the encounter.
