Real Madrid defender Ramos slams ref: It always happens at Barcelona

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos says they had Barcelona "on the ropes" despite defeat at the Nou Camp.

Ramos says Real players were furious with their denies penalty calls.

"It's a while since Barça has been up against the ropes and Real Madrid managed it. The penalty against Cristiano Ronaldo was very clear, a big effort was made and Barça was time-wasting at the end of the match. I'm sad but proud," said Ramos.

"It always happens here, it's the same old story. The two penalties were clear. I'm not the only one who thinks so either, the whole world saw it. They should watch the game again on the telly. Then they'd see the penalties, the throw-ins, the fouls, the yellow cards. It's always the same here. I'm not trying to say we lost because of the ref, but the whole world saw what happened."
