Real Madrid Claim nine errors in 30 matches

Enzo Zidane misses penalty, gets sent off against Athletic B

As the season has progressed coach Santiago Solari has cut an increasingly irritated figure with the sense that refereeing decisions are simply not going the way of Real Madrid Castilla with it now turning into a refereeing nightmare for the club.

The Argentine was left particularly incensed after a 2-0 defeat to Toledo on matchday 27 where the official failed to award his side a penalty but then proceeded to show Aleix Febas a yellow card for diving.

This would then lead to the midfielder being shown a second yellow and thus dismissed later in the match.

In his post-match press conference, Solari showed his distaste for what he felt was continually poor refereeing performances.

"My players are getting the opportunity to work through a master's degree in refereeing," he explained

A sense of frustration has been building within the club all season long and there have been as many as nine refereeing errors highlighted by Castilla over the course of the season.

With the team sat in sixth place in Segunda B with just 46 points, they feel as though the mistakes have cost them severely.

It is thought that six clear penalty decisions have gone against the Argentine's team whilst a goal against Gernika was disallowed despite Castilla feeling it was perfectly legitimate.

Every team across the sport feels wronged by officials at one stage or another but when it is seen to be happening so often throughout the course of one campaign then such anger is inevitable.

Calculations have suggested that the Madrid club would be up to 13 points better off if decisions had gone in a different direction.

This is a rather significant swing as it would see Castilla sat comfortable on 59 points, a total which would see them to be fighting to lead Group II of the Segunda B.

In reality they are languishing, struggling to even clinch a play-off place with Barakaldo currently tied alongside them on 46 points.

Despite the bleak position, former Inter midfielder Solari maintains that his team will continue fighting for every point until the end of the season.

"We will continue to fight to keep up; we will respect our style and attempt to overcome our rivals, even if the gap is 10 points," he stated.
