Real Madrid’s recent criticism of referees has stirred controversy within Spanish football. After their loss to Espanyol, the club sent a strongly-worded letter to the Spanish Football Federation, accusing referees of poor decisions. The letter was sparked by a controversial incident involving Carlos Romero, who avoided a red card for a rough tackle on Kylian Mbappe. Romero later scored the winning goal for Espanyol, which added to Real Madrid’s frustration.
The club’s complaint has drawn backlash from other teams in La Liga, and the league itself was not pleased. As a result, La Liga filed a complaint, and disciplinary proceedings have now been opened against Real Madrid. The Disciplinary Committee will investigate whether the club should face punishment for their actions. The inquiry will focus on the club itself, not individual board members, as requested by La Liga.
There is no set timeline for the investigation, but it is expected to take around a month. Real Madrid maintains that they have done nothing wrong, and they continue to air controversial referee-related videos on Real Madrid TV, which have also drawn criticism from other clubs in recent years.
