After Real Madrid were denied a penalty and two goals were disallowed on Saturday against Sevilla, Carlo Ancelotti was clearly disappointed, saying that if he really explained his feelings to the referee, he would Get a long ban.

It has covered the Madrid-based media in recent days, and during his pre-match press conference Ancelotti announced that he had no "freedom of expression" to speak about the referee. Xavi was asked about the Real Madrid TV video. Xavi said:


"I do not like the referee being influenced. It was hard work. They make mistakes sometimes for you and sometimes against you. But we must help them. Although sometimes we feel stressed. I believe a lot in their honesty. I do not like to see them influenced.

"Ancelotti is right about this. If you talk about referees, you get banned."
