Real Madrid has intensified the tension ahead of Sunday’s El Clasico. Real Madrid TV, as usual, criticized the referee of their next match, targeting Hernandez Hernandez in a video.

Despite facing widespread criticism for their campaign against Spanish referees, Real Madrid appears unwilling to change its strategy. The video released today by Real Madrid TV against Hernandez Hernandez will undoubtedly escalate tensions ahead of this crucial El Clasico, which could decide the La Liga title.

In the four-minute video, Real Madrid TV not only accused Hernandez Hernandez of being a Barcelona supporter based on his refereeing history but also questioned his overall performance in all Real Madrid matches.

Real Madrid TV pointed out that among all referees who have officiated at least 10 Real Madrid matches, the team has the lowest win percentage under Hernandez Hernandez.

This will be Hernandez Hernandez’s fifth El Clasico. Real Madrid TV highlighted that in all four previous matches, the referee made what they described as “horrendous” mistakes. Real Madrid has only defeated Barcelona once in the four El Clasicos officiated by Hernandez Hernandez. The last El Clasico he refereed was in the 2019-2020 season.

Real Madrid listed several major mistakes by Hernandez Hernandez, including disallowing Gareth Bale’s goal in an El Clasico at the Bernabeu and awarding a penalty to Barcelona early in another match, which led to a 3-2 victory for the Catalans. They also mentioned a foul by Luis Suarez on Raphael Varane that went unpunished, leading to a Barcelona goal.

Real Madrid TV further stated that Hernandez Hernandez’s poor performance is not limited to El Clasicos but extends to all Real Madrid matches he has officiated. They referenced a match against Mallorca where a record number of fouls were committed (29 by Mallorca) without any red cards being issued.
