With only a few hours left before the start of the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Real Madrid TV once again poured fuel on the fire, accusing Spanish football of systemic corruption.

The refereeing controversy of the Copa del Rey final’s El Clasico, which started last night, continues. There is no doubt that this controversy will persist even after the match ends, regardless of the result.

Last night, a major controversy erupted after Real Madrid TV aired a report. Following this report, the referees of El Clasico held an unusual press conference and criticized the report. Real Madrid was angered by the referees’ statements and even threatened not to participate in tonight’s match if the officiating team was not changed.

Although Real Madrid eventually backed down and will face Barcelona tonight, Real Madrid TV aired another controversial report, claiming that nothing has changed and the referees will undoubtedly whistle in favor of Barcelona tonight.

Real Madrid TV, in its recent program, once again attacked De Burgos and González Fuertes, the referee and VAR official of tonight’s match, stating: “We only asked the referees to be professional and impartial. Our demand is clear. The standards of judgment must be the same for all teams. No favoritism or hostility. The referees must be neutral. But the issue is that the referees of the Copa del Rey final made it clear last night in their press conference that they do not intend to be neutral. There is no doubt that they will not be impartial, and this reality has not changed since last night.”
