There are questions over the Officiating of various leagues across the World, especially in Europe.

Eyeonthenews.news observed that many referees are found wanting in their line of duties, as some players were seen taking dangerous tackles on their opponents without the required cautions.

A typical example was Sunday’s La Liga match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, where an Atletico Madrid player dangerously stamped on the ankle of a Real Madrid star Valverde (spotting jersey number 8).

The hard tackle, shown in the cover photo of this story, was not adequately penalized, raising questions about the officiating of league games in recent times.

The fact that the infringement occurred right in front of the Center Referee showed two things; either his vision was not sharp or he compromised.

The particular incident at Atletico was not taken lightly, as Real Madrid Media described the officiating of the game as; ‘a dreadful refereeing performance decides the derby…
(Un pésimo arbitraje decide el derbi).

The message on Real Madrid platform showed the club management is not happy about the outcome of the encounter, raising more questions about officiating of the match.

The availability of Video Assistant Referee (VAR), is expected to stem things down, rather, the health of players is being threatened every weekend due to inadequate and balanced Officiating of matches.

However, Atletico defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in the tension soaked match, as Alex Grimaldo and Jonathan David found the back of for the hosts.

It was a game where Real defender Dean Huijsen was sent off for bringing down Giuliano Simeone ‌inside the area as ​the last defender.
