Leganes boss fumes over refereeing decision following Real Madrid defeat

Leganes manager Borja Jimenez expressed frustration over refereeing decisions in his side’s defeat to Real Madrid but maintained trust in the officiating system.

While describing the contentious calls as "bad luck," he hinted that Leganes should speak out more, as other clubs do.

Jimenez pointed to two key incidents—the penalty awarded for Oscar Rodriguez’s challenge on Arda Guler and a foul by Renato Tapia on Rodrygo that led to Madrid’s comeback goal. He admitted the referee had an off day but emphasized respect for his effort.

Meanwhile, Leganes players were furious over the decisions, but Jimenez urged them to focus on their strong performance instead.

Despite Madrid's dominance, he praised his team’s fight, noting they nearly pulled off an equalizer.
