Madrid’s fiercest arbitration push: Mourinho, in the Camp Nou parking lot

The effort of Florentino Perez a referee in a room at the Santiago Bernabéu is known twelve and a half years later because iturralde gonzalez the incident was revealed on Sunday night on the SER network. The Technical Committee of Referees, with the report from the Basque referee in their possession immediately, washed their hands of it, from which it can be concluded that, if it happened many times with other referees, the CTA would also look in another direction. The current impact, although noticeable, is no longer the same as if the events had been known when they occurred. But what Real Madrid’s machinery could not hide was another, more brutal form of pressure that occurred just 15 months after October 3, 2010.

All of that Florentino Perez He worked hard to do it in secret and, allegedly, using an elegant suit he molested her on January 25, 2012 Jose Mourinhoin a tracksuit and under the curious gaze of those in charge of the Camp Nou car park and other people passing by, with them Pere PuntiMundo Deportivo photographer, who caught him waiting for the Cantabrian referee Fernando Teixeira Vitienes at the end of the Cup Clásico which ended 2-2 and meant Real Madrid’s elimination in the quarterfinals at the hands of Barça, eventual champions, who won 1-2 in the first leg.

Madrid won that 2011-12 League, already Pep Guardiola, a month after the parking lot embarrassment and after the refereeing scandal in Madrid’s 0-1 draw at Vallecas, advanced that “we will not win.” And he was right.
