Real Madrid were not happy with Cesar Soto Grado's officiating in their 0-0 draw against Osasuna at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night, with Carlo Ancelotti expressing his frustration at the referee's decisions after the final whistle was blown.
Soto Grado was whistled at by Real Madrid fans after the fourth official signalled four minutes of added time, despite Sergio Herrera's alleged time wasting and the substitutions that were made in the second half.
Herrera had to be treated by Osasuna's medical staff twice after the break due to a discomfort and Real Madrid players believe that more stoppage time should have been added.
Just before the game at the Bernabeu went underway, the referee in Barcelona's match against Rayo Vallecano signalled eight minutes of stoppage time, with officials tending to give more added time this season in LaLiga Santander.
Real Madrid's complaints after the game
After the game, Ancelotti expressed his unease with Soto Grado's decision to signal just four minutes of stoppage time.
"[The added time] was little," said Ancelotti.
"I don't have the stopwatch, but the reality is that today's football needs effective time, there is no other way."
Thibaut Courtois also expected the referee to give more added time while Real Madrid were piling the pressure on Osasuna in pursuit of a potential winner.
"It is difficult to know who adds and what [they add]," Courtois told Movistar.
"I went to ground at the Camp Nou because of some discomfort and they gave seven [minutes].
"If you make four changes, plus the goalkeeper's [discomfort]... The problem is that there is no criterion and you do not know what they add and the reason."
Dani Carvajal agreed with Courtois' remarks and stressed that the Osasuna goalkeeper wasted a lot of time in the second half.
"Herrera has wasted four minutes," said Carvajal.
"[There were] two changes at the end in which the players started walking. They are giving six, seven and eight minutes in all the games and four seems very little."
Real Madrid's director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno, expressed his belief that there was a penalty that wasn't given on Vinicius Junior.
"Sometimes the VAR intervenes and other times it doesn't," declared Butragueno.
"The stamp [on Vinicius] exists and [the opponent] could have hurt him. Four minutes did not seem like the time that should have been added."

They Should Stop With Excuses.. We Were Supposed To Gain The 3 Points During The 90mins.. If Couldn't Score In 90mins Then How Can You In Even 9mins Added Time. What Did They Expect, For The Referee To Restart The Match Or What😡😡😡

In the world of football the during the play the team which will be on advantage will make unnecessary boring delayings wasting time .I can't see the reason to complain even though am a die hard Real Madrid fan Additional minutes are for both sides not one side so there's no need to complain we had already failed to have 3 points during the 80 minutes

who you want to oppress.... Liverpool is a good team that's why they won it without crying for extra time....
Liverpool is great team?? They wont last in front of madrid and they barely won from atletico, and you call them a good team just because you lost?

Am a true Los-Blancos supporter, I think no thing we will do in just 3 minutes, we suppose score a goal from 0- 90 minutes, but we just complain about the addition of 3 minutes, this complain is useless

Why do you disagree? Can't you see that there is favouritism towards Barca? Barca against Madrid (7mimutes) because they were loosing. Barca against Rayo (8minutes). When it is Madrid, it was just 4. Get the gist.

Ancheloti must not question the ref for the 4 minutes he added. What if Osasuna scored in added time? It wasn't a must that Madrid were to score. Why didn't they score in 90 minutes?

I'm 💯 Real fan,I totally disagree with them on this issue,the truth remain that the opponent defense couldn't be unlocked by Real for good 90 mins,even if extra 15 mins was given it won't have change anything.some days are like that in football,we move.

we played for 94' we couldn't score, was the goal going to come from the 3 minutes you are claiming? poor Decision by Anceloti is costing us this Season, Valverde is injured you can't rest Modric because you are playing Osasuna. if you rested Modric you should have used 4-4-2 with Kroos and Casemiro in the mid Rodrygo Vini in the wings, Jovic and Benzema upfront
You don’t need 90mins to score a goal,it could come anytime

i wont say anything about the ref cuz madrid just underestimated their opponents they were playing very lazy like one of the passes from marcelo benzema wasnt ready for how the hell wont you be ready for a pass in professional football and as a striker he should be number 1 in the world and whatever anyone say eventhough vini makes great runs behind the opponent he isnt scoring nor assisting nor creating them so madrid focus on your team rather then a ref
