Another Referee Under Suspicion in Getafe - Real Madrid, CTA Goes Bare-Chested

The Recent Decision Made by the CTA That Has Raised Several Doubts Due to the Referee Appointed for the Getafe-Madrid

For several months, Real Madrid have made their stance on Spanish soccer refereeing clear. Considering that several issues need improvement to avoid constant controversies, the situation hasn't changed. With increasingly questionable decisions from the referees, the CTA continues to appoint referees who have caused controversy.

While the appointment of De Burgos Bengoetxea for the Cup final has been much talked about, it hasn't been the only one. For the upcoming match between Real Madrid and Getafe, the appointed referee will be Sánchez Martínez. Accompanied by Trujillo Suárez in the VAR, this decision by the CTA has caused several doubts.

Sánchez Martínez, on several occasions, has been the person responsible for being the spokesperson for Medina Cantalejo during various controversies. Possibly having more power than it appears, Real Madrid are aware that they are facing a difficult match.

Doubts About Refereeing Toward Real Madrid

Suffering several injustices that cost important points, Real Madrid's dissatisfaction with the refereeing is understandable. Having a considerable advantage in LaLiga a few months ago, a couple of controversies ended up giving the advantage to Barcelona. Although Real Madrid are only 4 points away, their upcoming match doesn't inspire confidence.

Despite the clear quality of Real Madrid's squad, the appointment of Sánchez Martínez doesn't inspire confidence in the team. Even with a quite favorable record for Real Madrid whenever they have Sánchez as a referee, the situation is evident.

The CTA, unafraid of anything, has appointed a referee who, based on past match records, could harm Real Madrid. A controversy that adds to the list of a matchday that will give more rest to Barcelona than to Madrid before the Cup.

A Tough Clash Against Getafe

Visiting Getafe this Wednesday, April 23, Real Madrid will play an extremely tough match. Having one less day of rest than Barcelona for the imminent Cup final, the attempt to harm Real Madrid is evident.
