According to reports, Real Madrid hosted Atletico Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu in another crucial La Liga match. The Madridistas, who have been going through a tough period, hoped to overcome their struggles with a win against Ernesto Valverde’s team.

In the past two weeks, Madrid has suffered a 2-1 defeat against Valencia, lost twice to Arsenal, and been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, only managing a narrow 1-0 victory against Alaves. Meanwhile, refereeing controversies in La Liga have also been a topic, with Madrid protesting refereeing decisions. For example, in Barcelona’s recent 4-3 win over Celta Vigo, Madrid media criticized the referee’s performance, claiming bias in favor of Hansi Flick’s team.

Meanwhile, another notable incident occurred in tonight’s Real Madrid match. In the first half, Carlo Ancelotti’s team performed poorly and failed to deliver a strong display. However, they hoped to go into halftime with a lead, but the referee not only failed to add any stoppage time but also blew the whistle a few seconds before the 45th minute.
