Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has slammed the lack of protection Sergio Aguero is receiving from referees after their defeat to Real Zaragoza.

Aguero, himself, has slammed ref Ramirez Dominguez for his performance on the night, and Cerezo also remarked: "One day they're going to leave Aguero an invalid.

"I can't believe what defenders who play against Atletico are allowed to get away with.

"Against Zaragoza it was very sad to see what was happening. On more than one occasion Aguero received tackles that deserved a yellow card.

"There's no point talking about precise plays. The constant hard tackling on Aguero needs to be looked at.

"If a player is skillful and a specialist in making football attractive, we need to look after him so spectators can see this spectacle, that is why they pay to come to the stadium."
