A month of shame: Real Madrid benefit from wrong refereeing calls

Football fans cannot take it any more. Cristiano Ronaldo's dive on Saturday night against Celta Vigo may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. It puts the cap on a month of shame. 

It all started on November 1, at the Nuevo Los Carmenes, when Real Madrid went to Granada. Cristiano took advantage of a ball from Dani Carvajal after a clear foul on Murillo. The referee, Jose Luis Gonzalez Gonzalez missed it, and Madrid strolled to a 4-0 win. 

Unfair punishment for Rayo

Rayo were 2-1 down when a very tight offside call was made against Leo Baptistao. Then, even though Kroos scored to make it 3-1, Rayo were still attacking rabidly. The officials missed a blatant offside on the Real Madrid counter and Karim Benzema struck. 

Double offside in Ipurua

Even the international break did not stop the poor referring. Eibar were the next victims in a quite alarming case. Borbalan Fernandez and his team missed a double offisde in the same play, the first from Benzema and the second Cristiano Ronaldo. James took advantage and made it 1-0, destroying local hopes. It ended up being 4-0, but the referees helped knock down the initial wall of defence. 

Mayhem in Malaga

After the absurd scenes in Ipurua it seemed like there was nothing left to invent, but the worst was yet to come. BEnzema opened the scoring after fouling the defender, Weligton. Kameni had a great game in goal and Madrid barely scraped a 2-1 win. 

Then the history of shame was extended in the match against Celta, with Cristiano's dive. Next up, Almeria. They are trembling already.
