Real Madrid raised the referee's question again.
Real Madrid will play Barcelona in the 35th round of the Spanish Primera Liga in the 2024-2025 season at the Estadi Olympics Luis Companis in Barcelona, Spain on the 11th (Korea time). It is the most important game of the season for Real Madrid. The league is the last chance for Real Madrid, which missed the Copa del Rey and the European Champions League. Real Madrid, which has 75 points, is four points behind Barcelona (79 points). If we catch this game, we can aim for the last reversal drama.
Real Madrid, which went all out, again reported on the transfer. Real Madrid TV said on the 9th 'El Clasico's referee is Hernández Hernández. He has been a fan of Barcelona since childhood. However, he said he was assigned to play the most important game in the league. Real Madrid TV said 'This is the fifth El Clasico hosted by referee Hernandez. But he has already made serious mistakes in four games. It caused damage to Real Madrid and declared a favorable call to Barcelona'He recorded the lowest winning percentage of Real Madrid's 10 or more matches. Real Madrid's winning rate in the game he hosted is only 54%. He has won only two games in the last six games.
Real Madrid television said VAR referee Martinez Munuera was one of the judges who caused the most serious damage to Real Madrid.
It's a picture I've seen before. Real Madrid expressed strong dissatisfaction with the referee even ahead of the final of Spain's Copa del Rey 2024-2025 season against Barcelona at the Estadio Olimpico de Seville, Spain, on the 27th of last month. Real Madrid TV also criticized referee Ricardo de Burgos-Bengoechea at the time, saying, `A referee who often makes decisions against Real.'
In response, referee Bengoetzea held a press conference with referee González Fuertes of the Video Reading System (VAR) to directly refute that he was pressuring Real Madrid referees. Referee Vengoechea said "When a child goes to school, he hears from other children "Your father is a thief" When the children come home crying, everything is a complete mess." `What I do is educate my son that his father is an honest man who can make mistakes like any other sports player,' he said. `It is never right what many of my (judgment) colleagues go through in grassroots football as well as professional football.'
Referee Fuertes also "must take much more serious action than we are taking now.We will not continue to allow what happens now. "I will announce new news soon" and "I will not continue to put up with it, and I will make history", he said, signaling that there will be an organized movement by the Spanish referee community.
Public criticism from the two referees spread like wildfire to the Real Training Center Valdebebas, who had just completed training before heading to Sevilla, the venue for the final. The angry Real club argued that the comments made by the two judges, who took the matter as a personal matter, made the final a mess and that they were ineligible to be referees in the final. In an official statement at around 8 p.m. local time on the 25th, the club cannot tolerate the statement issued today by the referees playing in the final. The deliberate remarks 24 hours before the match showed once again that these referees were clearly hostile to Real. In a menacing tone that suggested unity of referees, it violated the principles of fairness, objectivity and impartiality that should be applied hours before a football match that would attract the attention of hundreds of millions of people around the world. In view of the seriousness of this incident, the club hopes that the RFEF's officers will take appropriate action. The world of judges must take corresponding action and act accordingly to defend the honor of the institutions they represent.
According to 'Marca', Real called for the replacement of the final judges. It is based on the judgment that a fair decision cannot be made as long as the referee intervenes. He acted immediately. I canceled the official training scheduled for 8 p.m. He did not attend any events related to the final. The opposing team, Barcelona, played all the schedules normally. However, in a call with Real's leadership at 6:30 p.m., the RFEF maintained a firm position that 'there is no replacement for the referee team'.
The next chapter was a threat that Real might not play in the final. There was even a possibility that Real could go back to Madrid to watch the situation after refusing to train, he said. But the worst did not happen. At around 10 p.m., two hours after making the first official statement, Real said in a second statement 'Contrary to rumors that have been circulating in recent hours, the club has never considered missing tomorrow's final. Despite the fact that the referees appointed to the final showed hostility towards our club today, Real know that the value of football should come first,' he said, expressing his intention to participate normally in the final.
The presence of the fans may have influenced the Real club's decision, according to the magazine. The worst situation of boycotting the final for the first time ever was avoided, but the controversy did not stop. Atletico, Real's Madrid rival, said on its official social media that "It's unbearable. Stop tarnishing the image of Spain's soccer," he said, publicly criticizing Real's actions. Atletico earlier expressed their full support to the judges, their families and their friends ahead of the Madrid derby. It is a very difficult time in the soccer world. "Don't lose your courage." He put pressure on Real, who has caused referee-related issues all season. President Javier Tebas also joined Real's criticism procession.
In the end, Real Madrid ended up losing 2-3. Real Madrid protested more than necessary during the match, with Lucas Vazquez and Antonio Rudiger sent off. Rudiger used foul language, including throwing filth. Rudiger apologized after the game, but the aftermath continued. In the end, he was even disciplined. Real Madrid has once again been at the center of controversy amid criticism of its players' attitudes.
