LaLiga: Real Madrid release statement criticizing refs after 2-1 defeat to Atletico

Real Madrid released a statement on Sunday, blaming referee Ortiz Arias for their 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid. Arias issued a straight red card to Dean Huijsen before Los Blancos conceded two goals from Alejandro Grimaldo and Jonathan David. Although Antonio Rudiger scored with a header from a free-kick, it was merely a consolation. The club questioned some of Arias' decisions, including not sending off Cuti Romero and Kang-In Lee for fouls on Bellingham and Valverde.
