Atletico Madrid trolls Real with derby viewing guide

This weekend, La Liga’s matchday 23 will feature the highly anticipated Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Ahead of the clash, Los Colchoneros offered fans a humorous guide on how to watch the game.

Details: On their official X (formerly Twitter) account, Atletico Madrid posted an image detailing the "proper way" to watch their match against Real Madrid:

1. Maintain good physical fitness.
2. Pre-match messaging.
3. Analyze the opponent’s game.
4. Use your club’s official channel to put more pressure on referees.

This post appears to be a dig at their city rivals. Following Real Madrid’s defeat to Espanyol, the club publicly demanded changes in officiating. They were particularly frustrated by the referee’s decision not to send off Cristian Romero for a reckless challenge on Kylian Mbappé and the disallowed goal by Vinícius.

Recently, it was also reported that Real Madrid representatives will not attend the meeting with referees organized by the new president of the Spanish Football Federation, Rafael Luzán.

Reminder: The Royal Spanish Football Federation has already responded to Real Madrid regarding their request for a VAR review.
