Atletico Madrid shows support for referees before derby
Atletico Madrid has published a message on its social media showing support and solidarity for referees and their families and friends, at a time when the football family is going through tough days.
This message comes just before the derby against Real Madrid, which will be played at the Santiago Bernabéu. The rojiblanco club has been launching ‘darts’ through its social media in response to the letter published by the white team after the match against Espanyol, in which it denounced the manipulation and adulteration of LaLiga.
Atletico has published several tweets ironizing about Real Madrid’s protests, including ‘basic instructions for preparing the derby’ in which pressure on referees is mentioned. Both Simeone and Ancelotti have been asked about these controversial tweets in a press conference, but both coaches have avoided the controversy.
Atletico Madrid’s message is a gesture of support for referees and their families, and a reminder that the football family must be united in difficult times. With this message, Atletico Madrid seeks to show its commitment to the integrity of football and its respect for referees who work in the sport. The derby against Real Madrid is one of the most important matches of the season, and Atletico Madrid is ready to face the challenge with confidence and determination.
