Real Madrid the ‘team that has benefited most’ from referees, says Barcelona legend Carles Rexach

Barcelona legend Carles Rexach has claimed that Real Madrid is the team that has historically benefited the most from refereeing decisions in both Spain and Europe. Rexach made the comments on the 2Cat program 'El cafè d’idees' following Real Madrid's recent derby defeat to Atletico Madrid. He expressed disappointment with the VAR system, stating it has not resolved refereeing issues as he had hoped.

Real Madrid's television channel and manager Jose Mourinho both criticized the match officials after the derby loss. The defeat leaves Real Madrid in fourth place in the La Liga table, trailing rivals Barcelona by six points after the opening seven matches of the season.
