Real Madrid blast ref after Barcelona defeat: We knew we'd face 12

Real Madrid have blasted the El Clasico match officials after Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Barcelona.

Real Madrid's official television channel attacked De Burgos Bengoetxea and Cesar Soto Grado, the officials responsible for on field and VAR adjudication, as well as Clos Gomez, who oversees video refereeing in LaLiga Santander.

"Clos Gonez's VAR sentenced Real Madrid in El Clasico," the Real report began. "It's definitely a wicked element," it continued as it denounced a string of refereeing calls that were granted in favor of Barcelona this season in LaLiga Santander matchups against the likes of Valencia and Athletic Club.

"The Spanish way of refereeing either gives you titles or it takes titles away from you," the report stated.

The fury from the Real Madrid camp comes after Marco Asensio's 81st minute goal was narrowly ruled out for offside in Sunday's clash with the Azulgrana.

The offside line that was drawn by officials was described as "laughable and twisted" by Real Madrid.

"We already knew from the preview that with De Burgos we would have to fight against twelve."
