On Thursday, February 6, a meeting took place in the Spanish capital, attended by the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, La Liga, and representatives from all elite division clubs, except Real Madrid. During the session, they demanded sanctions against the "Royal Club."
Earlier, Real Madrid accused the refereeing corps of corruption and bias through the media.
Details. According to Sport, the presidents of several clubs publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with Real Madrid’s behavior, and they also did so privately during the summit on Thursday.
At the meeting, not only was Real's attitude towards the referees criticized, but there were also calls for consequences or sanctions to be imposed on the club.
It is noted that Rafael Lúzan, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, also announced that refereeing in Spain must undergo structural and fundamental changes.
Reminder. Real Madrid’s leadership criticized the work of the refereeing team in the match against Espanyol (0:1), pointing out several serious mistakes by the referee. As a result, Madrid filed a complaint with the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
By the way, earlier, Barcelona's head coach Hansi Flick stated that criticizing referees is not the way the Catalan club operates.
