The journalist harshly criticized the referee of the clásico and stated that he favored Xeneize to avoid a defeat that would have caused a 'huge mess' at the club
Yesterday afternoon, Boca and Racing drew 1-1 in a new clásico played at La Bombonera. After the match, Flavio Azzaro used his social media to launch strong criticism against referee Nicolás Ramírez, whom he accused of favoring Miguel Ángel Russo's team.
"What a shame, what a robbery, what a robbery, my God. The worst part is when you realize during the week that something is going to happen. I said it during the week, if Boca had lost today, Boca would have faced a huge mess," the journalist stated.
According to Azzaro, if Xeneize had lost the clásico, serious internal problems would have erupted. In that context, he pointed directly at the referee: "Referee Ramírez, a guy who always, whenever he can, calls against Racing, always, but always, was going to do everything possible to make sure Boca didn't lose. Well, you achieved your goal, Ramírez, phenomenal."
The journalist continued with his criticism: "Today, Boca's twelfth player was you. It was a robbery, a robbery. From the very first minute, he called everything, everything for Boca."
Para Azzaro, Ramírez benefició a Boca
Azzaro also emphasized that the referee's performance caused multiple controversies and that there was a clear favoritism toward the home team: "The small ones, the not-so-small ones, everything. And you say there wasn't a possible penalty play, otherwise he definitely would have given it. At the end, after awarding the foul for the 1-1, he gives a foul for the 2-1 to the redhead who plays as right back, which was nothing. What? What a son of a bitch? But not even by cheating, Boca, do you win. Against Racing in recent years, Boquita, not even by cheating."
Costas also targeted Ramírez
The Academia's coach was very critical of the referee of the match, especially regarding the foul that resulted in Boca's equalizing goal.

"In the second half, the same thing as always happened, they called every foul... You saw that the one for the equalizer wasn't a foul. It's not that we're complaining, they keep pushing and pushing. We have to score two or three goals to be able to win a match."
