Spain: Real Madrid castigates a “completely discredited” arbitration and a “corrupt” system

Real Madrid castigated this Monday in a letter to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) a “completely discredited” arbitration and a “corrupt interior” system, after its 1-0 defeat on the Espanyol Barcelona field SATURDAY.

“The facts occurring during this meeting exceeded any margin of human error or arbitral interpretation,” wrote in this letter publicly broadcast by the club the secretary of his board of directors, José Luis Del Valle Pérez.

Trapped by Espanyol Barcelona (1-0), Real Madrid conceded its third defeat in the league on Saturday, letting its rival Atlético return to one point before their derby next weekend.

An arbitral system in “completely rigged” Spain

Real deplores that during this meeting the lateral Carlos Romero, author at the end of the match of the goal of his team’s victory, simply received a yellow card for a big fault on Kylian Mbappé, instead of being expelled, and that ‘A goal was refused to Vinicius Jr because of a fault on the action of Mbappé.

“Given the gravity of the facts, Real Madrid requires the RFEF the immediate delivery of the Audios recordings of the Var relating to these two key actions of the meeting,” asks the Madrid club, which calls for a reform “in its entirety” of the arbitral system in Spain. The latter “is completely rigged and structurally built to protect himself,” continues Real, who announces that he sent a copy of this letter to the Higher Sports Council.

“When those who must be the subject of surveillance and control constitute, at the same time, a decisive factor in the choice of those who should exercise this supervision task, we end up what we are living,” adds Still the club, evoking “a system which proved that it was corrupt from the inside”.
