It is a subject which is clearly beginning to crystallize tensions on the other side of the Pyrenees. For months, even years now, it has been usual to see consultants and journalists from the official Real Madrid channel analyzing the referees who will direct the upcoming matches of the team from the Spanish capital. And often, it is rather negative, and the various errors unfavorable to the Madrilenians of the referee in question during previous matches of the Merengues are brought forward.

Javier Tebas will even take the cards in hand in this affair, since he too is exasperated by the videos published by Real Madrid TV. This is the first time that there has been a concrete denunciation of a club against the Madrilenians, even if, in recent months, Atlético had also spoken out publicly against the actions of its neighbor Merengue.
