On September 21 at 21:00 CEST, Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Atlético Madrid in an away fixture of La Liga matchday 7. According to Marcos Ruiz, AS's Real Madrid correspondent, Real Madrid players were furious after the match and the club decided at the last minute to cancel player interviews to prevent unnecessary conflict and disciplinary action.

According to reports, all Real Madrid players left the Metropolitano stadium angry after the Madrid derby, as the referee failed to issue red cards for dangerous fouls committed by Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-in.

The entire Real Madrid team felt the match was marred by controversial decisions, from Buenó's two unpunished fouls in the opening stages to what they saw as the final straw: VAR referee Trujillo Vega failed to recommend that the main referee review Lee Kang-in's dangerous stamp on Federico Valverde at the sideline. In a previous Madrid derby in March, Federico Valverde received a direct red card from main referee Munera Montero for a much milder foul on Buenó.

Someone in the dressing room shouted, "They're robbing us! Why did they send a coward to referee this game!" After the final whistle, players remained furious and the numerous questionable decisions throughout the 90 minutes created an atmosphere of tension unprecedented in recent derbies. The club feared someone might face disciplinary action for inappropriate comments and decided not to hold any player interviews. The referee's decisions undoubtedly heightened the tension in this Madrid derby.

Before halftime, Rüdiger and Hülman collided and became entangled. Ultimately, Atlético Madrid's goalkeeper coach Pablo Vercellone and one of Mourinho's assistants, Pedro Machado, were cautioned. Lee Kang-in's unpunished and non-red card foul was the spark for the overall chaos. To prevent players on the pitch from being sent off, main referee Ortiz Arias issued yellow cards to members of both coaching staffs as a warning. Fortunately, the situation didn't escalate further and Machado later apologized to Hülman.

Real Madrid players' anger persists regarding other matches, as they believe recent decisions have clearly favored FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, which explains the current league standings. Osasuna's disallowed goal against Atlético Madrid, the penalty awarded to Real Madrid at Anoteta, and the penalty given to Lamine Yamal against Leganés are all cited as examples of inconsistent refereeing standards.

The general feeling among Real Madrid players as they left the stadium was that they were not inferior to their opponents but lost the match unfortunately. In the first half when it was 11 versus 11, the game was competitive. Real Madrid players' main complaint is that beyond Buenó's two unpunished fouls in the opening stages without a yellow card, the referee also missed two clear red cards: one when Cristian Romero stamped on Jude Bellingham and another when Lee Kang-in stamped on Federico Valverde. Real Madrid believes that without these missed decisions, the outcome of this Madrid derby would have been completely different.
