"I don't know what surprises you": Simeone comments on referee scandal involving Real Madrid
A recent scandal in Spanish football involved a controversial moment during the Copa del Rey match between Real Madrid and Celta, where referees failed to intervene in an incident between Williot Swedberg and Andriy Lunin. However, Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone wasn’t at all surprised by the situation.
Details: El Cholo emphasized in his conversation with the press that referee scandals involving Real Madrid have been occurring periodically for many years, so he personally is no longer surprised by their existence.
Quote: "I didn’t watch yesterday’s game. I’ve been told about incidents that have been happening for a hundred years. I don’t know what surprises you..." said Simeone.
Reminder: Atlético is currently leading the Spanish league, ahead of their neighbors, Real Madrid, by one point.
