Real Madrid has asked the Royal Spanish football federation (RFEF) to take action against the referees who would take the lead on the Copa del Rey final on Saturday. Los Blancos has asked that the referees are being changed because of what they believe against them.
Referee Ricardo de Burgoes Bergoetxea and Var Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes gave a press conference on Friday afternoon, with the first in tears due to the persecution of his family as a result of criticism of him. In the meantime, Gonzalez Fuertes promised that the referee organ would take action in the near future against the after -pole they suffer.
Real Madrid believes that this was a show of bias against Los Blancos, known to broadcast smears on Real Madrid TV for games, and asked them to change the officials. The RFEF, as noted by Cadena SER, does not intend to do this, the feeling that there was no valid reason to change the referees.
Since then, Real Madrid decided to attend their training session on La Cartuja on Friday evening and their press conference. In the aftermath, they also released a club statement and asked the RFEF to 'act accordingly'.
Full explanation:
Real Madrid CF regards the public statements made today by the referees designated for the Copa del Rey -Final, planned to be held tomorrow 26 April 2025 as unacceptable.
These protests, which have surprisingly focused on videos of a media outlet protected by freedom of expression, such as Real Madrid TV, which were deliberately performed 24 hours against one of the participants of the final, once again demonstrating the clear and manifest hostility and hostility of these references to Real Madrid.
Even more surprising statements, in an imminent tone, that refer to the unity of the referees, were used to announce alleged measures or actions that are far below the principles of fairness, objectivity and impartiality that should only rule a few hours before a football event that should draw the attention of hundreds of millions of people around the world.
Given the seriousness of what happened, Real Madrid hopes that those responsible for the RFEF and the referee will act accordingly, whereby the necessary measures are taken to defend the prestige of the institutions they represent.
