Real Madrid has still not digested. On the move on the Espanyol lawn, Carlo Ancelotti's troops were surprised, losing in the score of 1-0 and allowing Atlético de Madrid to return to a small point in the Liga classification. A defeat conceded after the opening of Carlos Romero's score, and that still does not go to the Merengues, since they believe that the left side should have been expelled after a violent tackle on Kylian Mbappé. And since Sunday evening, Real Madrid has not stopped its offensives against arbitration.
In addition to a video published on the club's media on Monday, the Merengue club then published a long incendiary letter towards the Spanish Federation, in order to complain about this action, but also a goal refused to Vinicius Jr, and the 'Arbitration of which he is generally victim. “The scandal following this last match, which has gone through our borders, is the unequivocal confirmation that the competition is marred by arbitral decisions which are impossible to justify”explained in particular Real Madrid.
The League and the Federation respond to Real Madrid
Inevitably, the Spanish institutions went up to the niche. First by Javier Tebas, President Le Liga: “I am not surprised at all by the letter from Real Madrid, because she says nothing other than her television has been repeating for some time. Many of us advocate a radical change in the arbitral system, approaching the English or German model, with a completely different organization and much more transparency. What is really striking is that when we debated and even voted for this change, Real Madrid was lukewarm and did not propose any solution ”he railed in a press release.
Local media, like Marca And ASboth mentioned the word “war” to denounce the current situation. Because, without naming Real Madrid, the RFEF published a long press release “Deeply regretting the tone and gravity of the accusations which question the integrity of the arbitral bodies and the functioning of the competition as a whole (…) This cannot lead to generalized accusations which call into question its integrity, as that Affects not only the referees themselves, but also erodes the credibility of football. It is important to reflect on the consequences of this type of systematic questioning of arbitration ”.
