In recent years, La Liga has experienced a huge crisis in terms of refereeing. Between decisions that are the talk of the town and huge scandals around big clubs that have allegedly paid referees, the amount of trust around the men in black is almost zero on the other side of the Pyrenees. In this sense, cases surrounding arbitration are legion this year. This Saturday, it’s Sevilla FC’s turn to step up to the plate against Real Madrid. Indeed, in a press release published this Saturday on the eve of the meeting between the two Iberian big names, the Andalusian club affirmed that the Merengues are leading “a campaign of persecution and harassment” against the referee of the match, Isidro Diaz of Mera.
“Sevilla FC denounced this Saturday, through a letter addressed to the RFEF Competitions Commission, the campaign of persecution and harassment against Mr. Colegiado Díaz de Mera, appointed as the main referee of the match tomorrow between Real Madrid and Sevilla FC, as well as against Colegiado González Fuertes, the referee designated for VAR, through Real Madrid TV, the official television channel of Real Madrid. Sevilla FC wishes to formally denounce these events to the governing bodies of the federation, so that they can assess whether these events can be considered an infringement of the general regulations of the RFEF or any other applicable regulations. The club also wishes to reiterate its strongest condemnation of this behavior and these campaigns orchestrated to undermine the image of the refereeing profession, causing serious harm to Spanish football and calling into question the integrity of the competition», We can read in the rest of the Sevillian press release.
