Zinedine Zidane says unstoppable Real Madrid deserve more respect
Jul 5, 2020
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said it was unfair that his side were constantly being accused of benefiting from favourable refereeing after they closed in on the La Liga title with a 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
Athletic, however, were denied a spot-kick late on when Ramos appeared to tread on their forward Raul Garcia.
Real had also beaten Getafe 1-0 with a late penalty on Thursday and had big decisions go their way in recent victories over Valencia and Real Sociedad, but Zidane dismissed the suggestion that the title was being decided on marginal calls.
“It’s easy to … talk about controversies but that’s not the case, we are doing phenomenally well. We are giving everything on the pitch and we deserve everything we are achieving,” Zidane told a virtual news conference.
“I don’t like to get involved in these discussions but what I cannot accept is hearing that we are top of the table because of referees’ decisions.
“We deserve more respect for what we are doing and I’m tired of people saying we are winning because of referees.”
Real have won all seven of their matches since action resumed in La Liga following a three-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic and hold a seven-point lead over title rivals Barcelona, although the Catalans can pull the gap back to four against Villarreal later on Sunday.
