Well, it seems like Real Madrid has found themselves embroiled in drama yet again. The ongoing season of La Liga has been under question for its poor officiating standards, with fans and managers not pleased with the match officials. However, it seems like Los Blacos‘ attempts to point out the officiating errors have backfired.
