Rafa Benitez is giving possibly the most sarcastic post-match interview of all time.
- - - Updated - - -
“It is very difficult to referee with only six officials. Clearly they need extra ones on either side of the goal, so they might actually see the incidents,” Benitez sarcastically told Sky Sport Italia.
Napoli released a statement claiming the “League has been falsified” and they slipped down to fifth place.
“We had many scoring opportunities, didn’t take them and other teams won. There are 10 rounds to go, but hopefully the request for an extra two referees will help.
“We had eight clear chances. For 12-13 minutes after the red card there was the goal incident – which of course was hard to see – and Atalanta played very deep.
“We are a team who want to play football, but I’ve seen a lot of time-wasting and I’d call it something else... It’s hard to talk to my team after they did so much to win.”
Benitez was asked if he thought this was in some way a dishonest decision, or at least one that was not in good faith.
“I am convinced he didn’t see it, otherwise it would be dangerous. I am convinced him, the fourth official, the linesmen and the goal-line officials didn’t see it, otherwise obviously they would’ve awarded the foul.
“I had never been shown a yellow card for dissent in all of my life, so it seemed frankly strange to be sent off.
“After more than 600 games if I had not received a booking, it means if I got that angry then there was a reason.
“Losing a game against a team with 10 men for an incident like that was not a football incident. All I can say is they must not have said it. It can happen.”

The hilarious thing about Napoli's pathetic tweet is the fact they are lauding English referees as the best in the world, on the very weekend that one of them made a ridiculous decision to send off a West Brom player (mistaken identity) against Man City...and the other fact that English refs are probably even worse than Italians 
Why are they complaining about the refs being harsh against them, when they were playing 11 v 10 for basically the entire second half? Pathetic clowns.
