Barcelona compile lists of refereeing decisions against them and in favour of Real Madrid in LaLiga
2022-23 LaLiga champions Barcelona have already been struck by refereeing paranoia, just four games into the new season. La Blaugrana have serious concerns over the way they have been treated by match officials in the opening rounds of the season, believing they have clearly been on the receiving end of a number of questionable calls, while Clsico rivals Real Madrid have been helped out by the men in the middle. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Los Blancos feel the opposite is true...
AS has learned that Bara have put together two lists: the first containing refereeing errors which have gone against them in the first few weeks of the campaign, and the second documenting incidents in which they say Los Blancos have been favoured by officials.
