Real Madrid put in a good defensive performance against rivals Barcelona on Wednesday night, but the club finally conceded two goals in the final stages of the Champions League first leg semi-final after Pepe received his orders.
Complicated striker Cristiano Ronaldo did not like the arbitrator's decision to reject Pepe and stressed that this is not the first time that a decision is crucial for Barcelona.
'It's always the same with the [Barcelona]. This is the fourth consecutive season that something similar has happened. [Jose] Mourinho is right, just look at what has happened to Arsenal, Chelsea and Inter, "said Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of the game.
"They [Barcelona] is a great team, but also have a great influence both on and off the field."
Ronaldo admitted that Real Madrid did not play well, but added that things could have anyway if not for the red card for Pepe.
'It is true that we have not played well. But still scoreless when he was 11 against 11 and everything was still possible. You could paint. It' s time is very difficult for us anyway. "
Madrid will try to reverse its 2-0 defeat of the first battle where both sides meet again next Tuesday at Camp Nou.
