Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was not happy with refereeing

Real Madrid CF v Girona FC - LaLiga Santander Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti wasn't pleased with the standard of officiating during the game. While the Italian doesn't often talk about refereeing, he implied that Girona shouldn't have been awarded the penalty. He said after the La Liga clash (via ): “I don't like to talk about referees but I will today. the first situation is a clear one. It's not a penalty because he doesn't touch it with his hand. I asked Asensio and he said he never touched it with his hand, it came off his chest. The left hand was in an odd position. If he'd have touched it with his hand, there may have been doubts around it. He didn't handle it, they've made it up". Ancelotti further added: "The second move is more open for debate. If the goalkeeper gets the ball in his hand, you can blow the whistle, or not. I won't talk about that one. I'm most surprised by the penalty. It came at a crucial time because the game was all but wrapped up. "We struggled to score goals, we didn't play brilliant football and we found it tough to win the ball back. We had the chance to make it 2-0 through Asensio. This situation has cost us two points in the table".
