Lamine Yamal defends Spanish referees amid scandals

Spanish referees have faced heavy criticism lately, and one of La Liga’s brightest stars has stepped up in their defense.

Details: Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal stated that officiating is a very difficult job, and there will always be those who are unhappy with the decisions.

Quote:

"Being a referee is very difficult. In the end, if you whistle in favor of one side, the other will complain.

And if no one complains, then someone from another team that isn't even playing will. It's a very tough job."

Reminder: In Barcelona’s last match against Rayo Vallecano, the referee made two controversial decisions in favor of the Catalans, but the Madrid club’s president refused to blame him.
