Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

Madrid are a sly side when it comes to refs - a lot of distraction goes on at their place. Rudiger has fouled Haaland in exactly the same way in several games - no pens ever given. Good decision to give the pen for once. For me, the Trossard ref had an especially crap game. No doubt Madrid fans are moaning that he was biased against them. I've seen plenty of UEFA refs biased against us, but I just think the Trossard ref was crap and easily conned.
He got out of jail with the Nico goal. Rudiger had just wrestled Ruben to the ground, much like he did Haaland later on, right before Nico scored. The goal took the decision out of his hands. Was really disappointed with him, as he is one of the stronger refs UEFA have got whrn it comes to reffing Madrid matches.
 
Not sure what I make of him, to be honest. To, seemingly, not have an issue getting tickets, he must have a mountain of points built up.
I think he's likely been doing the hard yards for a long time, home and away, and only more recently become visible in the Mutton persona..? I like his coverage, and clearly an adventurous traveller, though the Guinness vlogs in the states were off-putting.
