Real Madrid lost to Atlético Madrid 1-2 in the Madrid derby, and after the match, Mourinho strongly questioned the referee's decisions. Paco Gonzalez, host of COPE's "Tiempo de Juego," subsequently commented that Mourinho once again shifted the blame for the defeat to refereeing issues.

Paco Gonzalez said: "Mourinho is back, I don't know how many years it's been. Once again, he's blaming the referee for the defeat."

Mourinho: I don't want to say it was fixed, I believe the refereeing committee just made a mistake in their selection

After the match, Mourinho specifically challenged referee Ortiz Arias's control of the game and questioned the decision to appoint Trujillo as VAR referee. In response, Paco Gonzalez acknowledged that Real Madrid's dissatisfaction with some decisions in the first half had some basis.

He said: "Regarding those plays in the first half that should have resulted in cards, he has a point, but he also says that the selection of Ortiz Arias was strange in every way."

Paco Gonzalez then sarcastically remarked: "Real Madrid needed a coach, but in the end they hired someone who specializes in writing scripts for Real Madrid TV?"

Regarding the referee assignment for this match, Paco Gonzalez believes assigning a non-international referee to oversee the Madrid derby was an "arbitrary decision" by the refereeing committee.

When discussing specific controversial decisions, he said: "What I want to say is, with Lee Kang-in's foul, if it were me, I would have shown a red card." However, he does not believe Cristian Romero's controversial play warranted a sending-off.

Nevertheless, Paco Gonzalez believes the refereeing issues cannot explain Real Madrid's performance: "Throughout the second half, Real Madrid had opportunities to do something, and the score was still 0-0 at the start of the second half."

He argued that if refereeing issues are again used to explain the defeat, it will cause outsiders to overlook Real Madrid's actual problems on the pitch.

Paco Gonzalez stated: "Real Madrid needed a modern coach, but instead they brought back the same coach from 15 years ago."

Finally, he believes Mourinho's post-match statements will keep the derby discussion focused on refereeing: "It will be hard for people to talk about football next. Mourinho didn't come here to talk about football or to make his team play football; that's a different matter."
