Real Madrid won in a landslide against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday (2-1) and this success did not please FC Barcelona. The winning goal was scored in the 100th minute of play on a penalty by Kylian Mbappé after a foul on Brahim Diaz.
The Madrilenians were scared at home against their neighbor Rayo Vallecano this weekend but ultimately achieved valuable success in the title race. The three points pocketed allow Alvaro Arbeloa’s players to come back one step behind the Barcelona leader, a result which frustrated the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta.
IF Real Madrid has been criticized for the quality of its play and its performances in recent times, the “White House” club had rather managed to avoid controversies linked to arbitration. But all good things come to an end and Joan Laporta did not fail to take a dig at his rivals. Guest at the Catalan newspaper gala Sports Worldthe Barcelona president described the penalty obtained by Brahim Diaz as “Piscinazo” which can be translated as “dive”.
If the Madrid victory caused a lot of talk on the other side of the Pyrenees, the behavior of Kylian Mbappé is also tense in Spain. The captain of the Blues is criticized for seeking contact in the penalty area to obtain penalties, he who has scored 12 this season with his club in all competitions.
