Why did Real Madrid demanded new officials for Copa del Rey final? Match referees draw Los Blancos attacks

On the eve of the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid will cancel their open training, press conference and club dinner According to Marca. This is a response to the referees, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea and Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes, not changed for the final that will take place in Sevilla on Saturday. Real Madrid believes that Gonzalez Fuertes’ statements should disqualify him to supervise the final.

Real Madrid asked for a referee change, but it was refused by the Royal Spanish football federation. During a press conference in the run-up to the final, the two spoke out about the abuse he received for supervising the competition, including from Real Madrid’s own TV network, “Real Madrid TV”, where Gonzalez Fuertes refers to the TV network.

“I am going to talk about those videos … More than what is said, it is the consequences of what is said. We see anonymous people on social media who insult and threaten without control. Official club Social media managers are constantly attacking our community, in addition to player actions and statements that give rise to the conviction in our decisions.

Real Madrid has had countless problems with referee this season and released an open letter in February that claims that Spanish referee has been rigged and completely discredited.

Previous problems

During a match against Espanyol in February, Real Madrid found that they were injured by referee errors, which led to a 1-0 loss. This is what led to the Open letter to La Liga Because an error on Kylian Mbappe has only collected a yellow card instead of a red. The mistake went to VAR review with the official crew that decided that a yellow was sufficient. Romero eventually scored the winning goal in the game and put Los Blancos back in a tight La Liga race.

This was the core of Real Madrid and Real Madrid TV that complained about unfair treatment of referees and it has become a theme in the dissection of every decision of the season, Including Jude Bellingham’s red card for deviating opinions While I looked at Osasuna. This has now come before the final of the Copa del Rey, so that the Spanish Federation has to make a considerable decision.
