Sevilla and Betis fans vent anger at refereeing as favoritism claims grow
Supporters of Sevilla and Real Betis have voiced anger over weekend refereeing decisions, with claims of favoritism toward Madrid and Barcelona, according to Estadio Deportivo.
The weekend's refereeing controversies have sparked outrage among supporters of Sevilla and Real Betis. Estadio Deportivo took to the streets to gather opinions on the most disputed calls and the alleged preferential treatment given to Madrid and Barcelona.
Sevilla's anger stems from Sunday's match at the Bernabéu, where Arda Güler was not sent off for a possible elbow on an opponent, despite a VAR review. The club has publicly questioned why the VAR did not intervene, with one message suggesting the officials might have been reluctant because Sevilla could have moved within nine points of Barcelona before El Clásico.
José Mourinho, quoted by El Español, said he does not understand "the obsession" with an incident that was not clearly seen. The refereeing committee has explained its decision, but Sevilla responded with sarcasm, saying they look forward to the "Review Time" program.
