The quoted source sustains that the combined of the City Condal believes firmly that the team can enderezar the course and win LaLiga in spite of the difference of points with the leaders. Also they have the certainty that, if there were not so many referee's controversies, the fight by the highest square of the local contest would be much more adjusted.
Besides, from the picture culé understand that the constant pressure of Real Madrid TV has influenced in some controversial decisions in favour of the merengues. In spite of the anger of the Barcelona, of the cual says that the estamento referee's is to the so much, the relation between both parts seems to be normal, to the equal that with the Real Spanish Federation of Football.
