Jose Mourinho blamed the match officials after Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in the derby.

Alejandro Grimaldo converted the resulting penalty before Jonathan David added Atletico’s second goal. Antonio Rüdiger scored a late consolation for Madrid. Mourinho argued that Atletico players Cristian Romero and Lee Kang-in should also have been sent off for separate challenges. He said the officiating had a major impact on the result. The defeat leaves Real Madrid six points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona after their second league loss of the season.
