La Liga has been rocked by refereeing scandals in recent weeks, with Real Madrid at the centre of the controversy. The club’s behaviour has not gone down well with other teams, to say the least.
Details: Sevilla president José María del Nido Carrasco condemned Real Madrid’s statements about referees, calling them unacceptable and accusing the club of attempting to undermine Spanish football. He stressed the need for action against such behaviour.
Quote: “Real Madrid’s statement about referees is inadmissible and unacceptable. It questions the integrity of referees and the competition itself. The football world must publicly and legally condemn this statement, which threatens the integrity of the sport.
Real Madrid is trying to destroy Spanish football. They have been doing this for a long time through Real Madrid TV and other methods. We cannot tolerate a club of Real Madrid’s stature attempting to tear us apart,” Del Nido Carrasco said on DAZN.
Reminder: Earlier, Real Madrid’s club media accused referees of bias in favour of Atlético during the derby.
