Jose Mourinho is not Surprised by Sergio Ramos’ Harsh Behavior to Lionel Messi

DBasia.news –  Real Madrid had a chance to avenge the defeat of the Copa del Rey against Barcelona in the La Liga match at Santiago Bernabeu, Sunday (3/3) WIB.

Unfortunately, continued to fail to take advantage of the status as the host and continued to swallow another defeat with a thin score of 1-0. Ivan Rakitic’s only goal in the 26th minute made a difference in this match.

This time the public spotlight was not only aimed at two consecutive defeats that had to be obtained by Santiago Solari’s squad, but also the commotion incident between the two team captains, Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi at the end of the first half.

In the replay, Ramos’s elbow was seen hitting Messi’s face, the Argentine player even sprawled for several minutes. Unfortunately, this incident escaped the attention of the match leader referee, Alejandro Jose Hernandez.

After previously Ramos have denied that his actions towards Messi was truly unintentional and he also had no intention of injuring his rival, now the player previously defended Sevilla was also defended by his former manager, Jose Mourinho.

“I think in the first half, both Barcelona and Real Madrid were both in control of the match, but also not too often have ‘hurt’ their opponents. There were no challenges in defense and it was more economical in important matches, especially El Clasico – who could be the deciding party for the championship title, “Mourinho said as quoted by the Goal.

​”The thing that Ramos did in this match was probably because he realized that the game had to be changed. He wanted to make the match light up, especially in the second half, because in my opinion the tempo of the game was slow,” added the former manager of Manchester United.

The counter-defeat of Ernesto Valverde’s squad was clearly detrimental for Madrid, remaining in third place, the chance to win the La Liga trophy was difficult to make happen, right now they are 12 points adrift from Blaugrana who are at the top.
