“Rubi, we are already beginning to be seriously concerned about the issue of the VAR, especially with Barça.” “It’s a real shame and very brazen what the referees are doing.” Did you see Suárez’s foul on the goalkeeper in the 2-1 today? It’s a joke! “, Ramos wrote to Rubiales through three consecutive WhatsApp messages on January 20, 2019, after a match in which Barça beat Leganés 3-1 at the Camp Nou. evidenced by the message, in that second goal there was controversy over a clash between Suarez and the goalkeeper.
Ramos wrote hot. Rubiales’ response, however, came the next day and cold. “Good afternoon, Sergio. You are the captain of the team, you have played hundreds or thousands of matches and better than anyone you understand that sometimes there are different opinions about a fact. As you know, I do not get into these issues. We work day to the day so that the refereeing establishment has more means and its efficiency improves. Together we must try to make our football better. A hug. See you soon “.
The response, in Ramos’ eyes, was “politically very correct” and the Madrid captain responded to Rubiales with a “congratulations” full of irony and then completed the message: “I was expecting a personal opinion on what happened yesterday with Barça, which is a scandal and they are already destined to win the League both yes and no. I understand the position. A hug “.
Interestingly, 2019 was the last year that Barça won the league title. In 2020, 2021 and 2022 the titles have remained in the Spanish capital, in two editions for Real Madrid and in one for Atlético.
