Mourinho is lashing out hard at the refereeing after the defeat.

He dismisses Ortiz Arias, saying he doesn't see him as qualified, and accuses Trujillo, the referee who was on VAR: "The referee didn't have the experience to officiate a derby. He's 41 years old. He's a poor referee who has only done small matches. Congratulations to the refereeing committee for this appointment, but Mr. Trujillo does have a history with Real Madrid. In the Copa del Rey, in Girona, Osasuna. This VAR has a lot of history. There's no pressure in Las Rozas. Or is there? ".

"If they let us compete on equal terms, we will do it. I don't want to say this was prearranged, I want to believe they are wrong. That the Committee made a mistake in appointing a 41-year-old and another one who has a track record against Real Madrid"

The Portuguese manager believes that Real Madrid keeps getting wronged while Barça and Atlético keep getting favorable treatment: "Things happen in this stadium that aren't normal. The disallowed goal for Osasuna is a joke, that thing in San Sebastián. .. LaLiga is just the same as what I left behind. We're going to fight. My lads are leaving here sad. Negreira isn't around anymore, right? Or is he still there? ".
