""Rayo came out very badly damaged from that match. It was a match in which two players were sent off, and the game was extended by ten additional minutes when the score was tied. "On top of that, a penalty was awarded in the last minute that, in my opinion, was incorrect," he said (h/t AS)."
""What's also happening is that it seems they favour a club that owns a television channel dedicated to explaining things that are out of place. "It says that the referees are continuously and permanently harming their team, so it's only natural for the reactions to be like this," he said."
""The Real Madrid players are getting used to diving inside the penalty area. They're favouring the club that has a television channel dedicated to explaining things out of place," Laporta added."
Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano to maintain La Liga momentum. The match generated controversy due to several refereeing decisions that provoked criticism from Barcelona leadership. Joan Laporta described Rayo as heavily damaged by the match, cited two sendings-off, an added ten minutes while the score was tied, and a last-minute penalty he deemed incorrect. Laporta claimed RMTV pressures referees by posting pre-match videos, giving Real Madrid an advantage. He also asserted that Real players have grown accustomed to diving inside the penalty area and questioned why RMTV had not criticised refereeing performance.
