According to reports, while Real Madrid TV had accused Hernandez Hernandez of bias against the club, Spanish newspaper AS revealed that the referee attended a meeting unrelated to the match where a Real Madrid representative was also present.

AS reported that Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez attended a refereeing reform commission meeting in Spain on Thursday afternoon. Minutes after Real Madrid TV published a harsh video against him, Hernandez Hernandez noticed that a Real Madrid representative was also present via video call.

The meeting was held at La Liga’s headquarters under the chairmanship of Javier Tebas to discuss potential reforms in Spanish refereeing. One proposal considered was the use of artificial intelligence to select referees for matches.

This proposal directly related to Real Madrid’s dispute with Hernandez Hernandez. Real Madrid believes the referee has consistently made decisions against them in previous matches, particularly in four El Clasicos he officiated. Real Madrid has repeatedly clashed with the refereeing committee this season, questioning the selection of referees for their matches. If referees are selected by AI rather than the committee in the future, such controversies could end.
