Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said that Figueroa Rodríguez decided that his team’s match against Elche had robbed his team of energy, and also explained that two points slipped out of Real Club’s hands during the match.
Courtois said, according to the Spanish newspaper Marca: “You have to whistle a zero once a game for a similar game on the other side.”
And he continued: “We left the Elche game disappointed, we lost two points from our hands.”
“The referee stole our energy. We were more interested in opposing him than in doing what he should do in the match.”
Real Madrid’s series of victories, which lasted 5 clashes, came to a halt in Elche in round 16, after the two teams drew 1-1 on Wednesday night.
This is Real Madrid’s first draw since Matchday 10 this season, when they drew 1-1 against Villarreal.
Real Madrid’s score after this tie is 33 points in second place behind leader Atlético de Madrid. Elche added 16 points in 15th place.
This is the first draw between Elche and Real Madrid in the Spanish League since 1977, when the two teams drew 1-1 and also at the Elche Stadium on matchday 29 of the 76-77 season.
