Summary: Linars - Barcelona 2: 1 (Sport 1)

Even before its loss turned into a defeat, Valencia fell behind a goal by Karim Benzema in a penalty that many believe was quite borderline.
The bats felt deprived and tweeted further during the game that "the robbery affair in Madrid is starting to repeat itself", with the tagging of the series "House of Paper", which also describes a huge robbery in the Spanish capital.
Pique, who already made headlines yesterday following his response on Twitter to a local journalist who claimed the brake did not cut his salary, retweeted Valencia's post and warned the bats: "Do not say it out loud, because you will be punished."
Of course this is not the first time that Pique claims that Real Madrid enjoys the help of the referees.
Even before that, the Barcelona veteran player replied to surfers who claimed he should have been sent off in the game against Granada: "You should know that I finished the game even without a yellow card, so to check the facts before you protest".

Thomas Ronesero, one of the senior editors at the SS, also responded to the issue: "Madrid responded to Valencia's unfortunate tweets and produced in art and with high-level football."
Valencia defender Jose Gaia said at the end: "The whole world saw that Casimiro was the one who hit the aldebra."
His coach Javier Bordlas added: "It is true that Madrid was better, but we dominated the game until this penalty that did not exist. It affected the game. I am surprised, can not understand. The referee may be wrong, but the VAR can not. Aldera reached the position before Casimiro, Who threw himself away. "
Pendel or not, it did not bother them.

The one who won the most compliments at Real Madrid was Vinicius, who celebrated with a double in his comeback game from an injury that caused him to miss the previous two, including that against Hattafa which ended in a 1-0 loss.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "He came back well, failed to do dribbles like he likes but had a wide presence."
Benzema also complimented his attacking partner: "I always feel good around Vinicius, I think he is a great player and aware of his potential. I help him, he is able to reach even higher."
