El Confidencial continue leaking private conversations between Sergio Ramos and RFEF (Spanish Football Association) president Antonio Rubiales that don’t put the former Real Madrid captain in the best light.
The Spanish outlet has revealed WhatsApp messages that show Ramos complaining about the VAR usage in Barcelona matches.
Ramos: “Rubi, we are beginning to seriously worry about the VAR issue, especially with Barca. It’s a real shame what referees are doing. Have you seen Suarez’s foul on the goalkeeper today at 2-1? It’s a joke.”
Rubiales: “Good afternoon Sergio. As you well know, I do not go into these matters. We work day by day so that the Arbitration Establishment has more means and its efficiency improves. Between all of us, we must try to improve our football.”
Ramos: “Very politically correct, congratulations. I was waiting for a personal opinion about what happened with Barça yesterday, which is a scandal and they are already destined to win the league, yes or yes. I understand your position.”
For the record, Ramos is complaining over Barca’s 3-1 win against Leganes from back in the 2018/19 season. Here is Suarez’s goal the Madrid captain didn’t approve of.
Was it a close call? Sure. But the Barca striker did not touch the goalkeeper.
Also, quite bold of Ramos to say that Real Madrid players don’t complain about refereeing. They might not do it in post-game interviews but surely do it in private conversations with the RFEF president.
This also explains why VAR has been so favourable to the Whites in the recent seasons.
