Zidane on Koeman's comments: It bothers me because I never get involved with the referees

Zinedine Zidane has revealed his frustration that Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has so openly discussed the referee's performance during Real Madrid's 3-1 win away at Eibar last Sunday night.

A controversial moment occurred when a Yoshinori Muto header inadvertently hit the elbow of Ramos in the box, which Koeman said in his press conference on Monday should have been a penalty.

"It bothers me because I never get involved with the referees," Zidane said when asked about Koeman's comments during Tuesday's pre-match press conference.

"Koeman's words don't mean anything because we're only thinking about [Wednesday's match against] Granada."

There have been five penalties awarded against Real Madrid since Barcelona's complaints, so does Zidane think there is any reason behind this?

"It is true that there is a lot of talk when there is something specific with Madrid and the referees, this is what Madrid [have to deal with]," he explained.

"It's a bit annoying talking about this, we are interested in tomorrow's match. We have to be focused."
