Bulgarian champions Ludogorets say they could quit the league after claiming that referees are favouring title rivals Levski Sofia.
On Saturday, Levski were trailing 1-0 against Litex Lovech but the game was abandoned when Litex players walked off the pitch in protest after a second red card and a penalty was awarded against them.
“We’ll probably quit the championship if such precedents in favour of Levski continue,” said Ludogorets’ owner Kiril Domuschiev.
The four-time champions lead Levski by three points, although they will be level at the top if the Bulgarian league do give Sofia the win.
Domuschiev added: “Why should we spend our money, allowing teams who have neither the necessary skills nor the necessary class to win the title with such an approach?”

On Saturday, Litex sporting manager Stoycho Stoilov said of his decision to take his players off the pitch: “There was a huge difference in the referee’s decisions. I’ve never seen something like this in football. This is a farce, an insult to all Litex supporters and all football fans. It was the peak of the absurd situation of football in Bulgaria.”
