The referee of the Spanish first division, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, once again placed himself at the center of controversy this Saturday, according to Real Madrid’s bias, after his performance in the match against Sevilla that took place at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
Just two days ago, Real Madrid TV released a three-minute video in which they expose, according to their perspective, a compilation of errors that the 37-year-old active referee has made. Of the plays selected by the white production, images from last season stand out, including scenes from the Spanish classic.
In this context, the one born in 1986 is once again at the center of criticism from the virtual stands. This is due to a series of controversies that the fans of the greatest European champion consider favorable for the Seville team, since, in eight minutes, Ancelotti’s men scored twice and neither of these was validated by the judge. Added to this is that at the end of the first half Vinicius was knocked down inside the area and no penalty was awarded.
The first of these controversies was forged early in the game, when at 4 minutes, when the white team opened the scoring through the Uruguayan, Federico Valverde.
Despite this, the Bilbao referee ruled the Englishman Jude Bellingham offside, thus invalidating the 0-1 score.

Five minutes later, Bellingham himself, who has 8 goals in the league competition (9 games), scored the first goal of the game again. But as in Valverde’s, the centre-back, who debuted at the beginning of 2015, decided to annul this goal from the former Borussia Dortmund player.
Here things got a little confusing, because at minute 9, Lucas Ocampos was knocked down after receiving a knee from the German, Antonio Rüdiger. However, despite the knockdown of Ocampos, De Burgos did not signal a foul, instead I hope that Valverde played for Carvajal at the beginning of the play that led to the England midfielder’s goal. Once, the ball moved from the Uruguayan to the Madrid side, the Nazarene indicated that the game should so that Ocampos was attended to. This, obviously, unhinged the merengue crowd, especially on social networks.
Someone has to explain to me why they disallowed this Bellingham goal.
The referee decides to stop the play, meaningless.

After that, in the 43rd minute, Brazilian Vini Jr. claimed a penalty when Sevilla midfielder Jesús Navas charged him from behind when he was trying to enter the rival area. Before this, the former Madrid captain, Sergio Ramos, today in the ranks of the Andalusian team, was involved in a negative episode with Rüdiger himself, at 41, when he grabbed him by the cheeks as a joke. However, Ramos did not appreciate that the German was laughing and they had to separate them so that the problem did not become bigger.

Regarding the controversy, the Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, ironically commented on Bengoetxea’s performance at a press conference, praising his participation by expressing that the referee, who has shown 775 yellow cards and 19 red cards directly, had had “a good game” and that there was also “successful in everything”.
“Irony is the only way after this game. Because if I say what I think about refereeing, many games will fall for me.”he highlighted.

On the other side of the coin, José María del Nido Carrasco, vice president of Sevilla, asked the team led by Florentino Pérez to “stop doing this type of actions”in reference to the audiovisuals that have been released against the referees.
Considering that they are against “that Real Madrid takes these measures through Real Madrid Television. The referees, of course, make mistakes, like everyone makes mistakes. And what we have to do is help them. Furthermore, a club of the category of Real Madrid does not like to make those types of situations that seek to put pressure on the refereeing establishment.”.
Fan expelled for racist
Once the 1-1 draw between Real Madrid and Sevilla ended, the team that debuted the coach of the Mexican Pachuca, Diego Alonso, made it known through a statement that “After detecting xenophobic and racist behavior by a fan in his stands, he has been identified and expelled from the stadium”.
