Real Madrid were the topic for discussion, after the Los Blancos came from 2-0 down to beat Almeria 3-2.

There were lots of VAR decisions in the game, with three favouring Real Madrid. This led to talks from Barcelona president Joan Laporta, claiming that Real often get the help of referees.

Carlo Ancelotti has now slammed Barcelona president Joan Laporta for accusing Real Madrid of putting pressure on referees and VAR and in turn causing them to make mistakes that favour Los Blancos.

Barca are currently under investigation for ‘sporting corruption’, and Ancelotti has told Laporta not to change the topic.

“They have talked a lot this week. We don’t have to deflect the topic, everyone knows what has happened in the last 20 years in Spanish football, that is the problem,” Ancelotti said.

“Spanish football has had a problem. Now the anti-corruption prosecutor’s office and the Civil Guard are conducting the investigation and now we have to wait.

“You don’t have to divert the topic.”
