Jose Mourinho’s vicious rant against the refereeing decisions that took place during Sunday’s Madrid derby has since earned some validation.

Atlético Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2–1 in a hugely controversial derby on Sunday afternoon. Following the game, Real Madrid manager Mourinho slammed the refereeing decisions because he felt two particular actions were “clear red cards” and came prepared with photos of the actions as evidence.
