It is recurring to turn on the TV and find a Real Madrid TV Tertullian rant of the Spanish referees or talk about “a dirty Negreira League” when something that is supposed to be supposed to do not conform to white interests. It happened a few weeks ago after an alleged penalty not pited to Vinicius, although there was not so much furious reaction when Lunin knocked Swedberg before a goal of Mbappé or two other maximum penalties were requested by hands in the duel cupo against Celta. Beyond clamor to heaven, there is an incontestable fact: The most penalty team in favor and less penalties against all those who are part of the major leagues in Europe is Real Madrid.

If we focus on league meetings, it is noted that Madrid has launched ten penalties. Of these ten penalties, he has transformed eight. No other team of the 96 clubs that participate in the five major leagues in Europe has enjoyed so many releases from eleven meters in favor. Only the French Stade Brestais is approached, with eight shots. They follow the Bayern, Inter, Villarreal, Lille and Bournemouth classification, which have thrown seven each.

The reverse of all this is that he has not had to suffer any release against. No referee so far in the League has been a penalty against Real Madrid. Here the white team is specifically accompanied by Werder Bremen (Bundesliga) and Newcastle (Premier). They have also not had penalties against.

And when was the last time they whistled a penalty against Madrid in the so -called ‘Negreira League’? You have to go back last season. Almost a year ago of the last time a goalkeeper ‘meringue’ had to try to stop a shot from eleven meters. He went against Rayo Vallecano, on February 18, 2024. Raúl de Tomás released, scored and the game was drawed to one. Since then, Madrid links 34 days without suffering any penalties. Four more days, and there will be a complete league, 38 games, without maximum penalties against.

Barça, which is the first of the first one that has thrown most into the area and more touches in the accumula

After Raúl de Tomás, The next four penalties against Madrid took place in Champions League. Against Bayern, Lille, Liverpool and Atalanta. It is true that The last two were given in national competitions, although not in League: Super Cup against Barça, goal from Lewandowski; and Copa del Rey against Celta, goal by Marcos Alonso. A fact that reinforces the ‘leadership’ of Madrid both in penalties enjoyed and those suffered: in the last league he only had one against the aforementioned against lightning. And in this league it is on the same path.

“But they are more penalty because they have more chances.” Yes, there is a direct relationship: the more you step on the area, the more likely you have to be demolished. But Barça, which is the first of the first one that has most thrown into the area (209) and more touches in the accumulate area (553), He has only launched four penalties so far in championship. A figure that places the Catalan block far from Madrid, the aforementioned Villarreal or even the Alavés, which has launched six, two more than the Barca ones. And the Alavés, for example, is outside the ‘top ten’ or touches inside the area. Madrid follows Barça in this ranking, with 207 and 510, respectively. The Botín of Whites, however, is much greater. “The dirty Negreira League does not invite football to talk about football, invites you to talk about a victim, which is Real Madrid,” they say on the official Madrid television. It does not seem, view the penalty figures.
