Atlético Meddles Where They're Not Wanted with a Gratuitous Attack on Real Madrid

One of the most surprising developments in recent days is the reaction of Real Madrid to the press conference by Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea and Pablo González Fuertes. The words of the referees of the Copa del Rey final, a match against FC Barcelona, have prompted up to two official statements protesting against those declarations.

Meanwhile, it was made clear that the team never considered not playing the final... contrary to what had been said in multiple media outlets during the hours this "case" lasted. Be that as it may, Real Madrid will be on the field at La Cartuja today at 10:00 p.m. to try to win this edition of the "K.O. tournament" against FC Barcelona.

Among the multiple reactions that have been found to the two official statements from Real Madrid is the one made by Atlético de Madrid. The "colchonero" team, eliminated in the semifinals by FC Barcelona itself, published a sort of brief official statement through their social media. The entity presided over by Enrique Cerezo has used social media asa platform to make their particular preview of several matches.

One of the most remembered was the Champions League round of 16 tie against Real Madrid, a double duel they ended up losing on penalties at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. After those comments, Atlético de Madrid posted this message on their official profile of the social network called X, formerly known as Twitter: "This is unbearable. Stop tarnishing the image of Spanish soccer #StopAcosoArbitralYa".

Incredible but True

This message is a clear reference to the videos made by Real Madrid TV, which have become popular in recent years... when it is a custom that the white team's television channel has maintained practically since its foundation. Aside from that comment, Atlético de Madrid inexplicably labels the attitude of Real Madrid as "referee harassment".

This comment is not only a new attack on the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez, but it is also a misplaced intervention. Because the squad coached by Diego Pablo Simeone was eliminated from the 24/25 Copa del Rey by FC Barcelona in the semifinals. Once again, they seek prominence, always at the expense of the white club, for a match in which they are not directly involved.

Real Madrid has once again made its position clear regarding the refereeing body. The "merengue" executives consider, given the "threats" made by González Fuertes, the complete regeneration of the system necessary. The "clear and manifest animosity and hostility of these referees against Real Madrid", in charge of officiating the Copa del Rey final, considerably worries the white leadership.

Despite not being the protagonist, Atlético de Madrid once again seeks to involve itself in comments against Real Madrid. This trend has become really popular and recurrent since the beginning of the "Negreira case", which is still in its investigation phase. Be that as it may, the referees are once again protagonists before a Real Madrid match in domestic competitions.
