# Soccer: Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has criticised match officials, saying they couldn’t cope with the pressure, following his team’s 2-1 defeat to Atlético Madrid in La Liga. He claims Atlético should have been handed two red cards in the first half, for defender Cristian Romero stamping on Jude Bellingham, and a second for a challenge by Atlético’s Lee Kang-in on Fede Valverde. Mourinho says referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias had no experience refereeing a derby. Madrid are now six points behind leaders Barcelona with seven games played.
