The statistics support Real Madrid's complaints about refereeing decisions in recent weeks. According to AS, the team has been fouled 171 times across their first 12 LaLiga matches this season, averaging more than 14 fouls per game. This figure is significantly higher than those of their main title rivals.
The difference is particularly notable when compared with Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. Real Madrid have suffered 63 more fouls than Barcelona, who have been fouled 108 times, and 58 more than Atlético, with 113.
The latest example came at Mestalla, where Real Madrid were fouled 26 times during their 3-0 victory over Valencia. The match further fuelled frustration within the squad, which, according to the same newspaper, feels unprotected by referees and fears for the physical safety of its star players.
