Spanish Referees’ Technical Committee (CTA) has reported Real Madrid players Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos to La Liga’s disciplinary committee following their critics on oficcial Alberto Undiano Mallenco.
The CTA has sent the duo’s comments after the Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the governing body will decided whether Ronaldo and Ramos should be punished.
The referees committee considers that both should be fined for suggesting a conspiracy against Real Madrid. Sanction could be up to 3,000 euros and it is highly unlikely that it could include a match suspension, since there is no precedent of players being banned for public comments after a match.
Undiano Mallenco awarded three penalties in El Clasico and sent Sergio Ramos off following his foul on Neymar inside the box.
Ramos said after the game that “everyone has seen what has happened. You go home feeling powerless and that you could have got more from the game. If they wanted to balance the table, they’ve done it, but Real Madrid will keep on fighting for La Liga.”
Meanwhile, Ronaldo claimed the referee “was pale and nervous; he was unable to make the right decisions. A referee has to be relaxed in order to do as well as possible. It makes me think that matches are not only won on the pitch, but also with a little help off of it.”
The Portuguese suggested “they” don’t want his team to win La Liga and stated that Undiano Mallenco “was not up to a match of this stature.” “Hopefully it won’t be the same referee in the final of the Copa del Rey,” he added.
The CTA has congratulated Undiano Mallenco for his performance in a tough game. This is not the first time the referee’s committee confront Real Madrid this season. Their enmity started when Ronaldo got a three-match suspension for a red card against Athletic Bilbao.
We have refs in Africa that are 1000% better than this spanish disgrace.
Sincerely speaking,the refree deliberately refuse to do justice to real madrid which all the people that watch the match automatically says the refree is 100% bias agaist real madrid.Its really a pity.
A morrocan adage says “a mosque, is not the place where you deny God”, however, even in realmadridnews.com I’ll tell you what I think. A football match is going according to rules. Players as referees try to respect them, sometimes with succees, sometimes without. People who do not admit this should opt for another hoby, players who do not accept the defeat should look for another job. Real Madrid – Barcelona was a very good match, I enjoyed.

I love the Morrocan adage, Radi. You raise a good point too. Players should learn to accept defeat and to act humble when they win. Football has a lot to learn from other sports such as rugby for example in terms of respecting the referee and his decisions.
Thank you Paul. Fight this other adage “Rugby is a sport of thugs played by gentlem, football is sport of gentlemen played by thugs”.
