Real Madrid Confidencial The red card for Huijsen wasn't given to Barça, identical play at Montjuïc
Real Madrid will not tolerate it anymore, and the double standard with Barça and Madrid in a play infuriates the white club
The war has entered the CTA and Real Madrid has been evident in recent years, where the club has been harmed. However, yesterday's match in San Sebastián was clear proof of the double standard that exists in the top refereeing body. A play by Íñigo Martínez last season, which was very similar and even more serious than Huijsen's, was interpreted as a yellow card.
This comparison is what has Madridists most outraged, as they never expected such a drastic decision to be made regarding the defender's action. However, it's no surprise that they're acting this way against the club, as has been the case in recent years. Obviously, in that referee report that Real Madrid is about to send to FIFA, this play will surely be among those mentioned.
Double standard for refereeing
This specific play, where Íñigo Martínez makes a move that is a clear foul against Durán as the last man, deserved a red card. However, he was only penalized with a yellow card, leaving everyone perplexed by the referee's decision. This could be the standard that many would have chosen in order not to destabilize a match that, due to details, could've changed.
However, when it comes to Real Madrid, things are different, since at the first opportunity they decided to go after the club. Dean Huijsen's action was clearly a foul deserving of a yellow card. Nevertheless, they decided to send him off directly, causing him to also miss the team's next two matches.
This decision-making, in addition to the lack of VAR intervention, is what generates even more doubts in a Real Madrid that doesn't trust the refereeing body. Now, with FIFA's intervention, we'll probably see some kind of change to prevent this situation from continuing. A situation that puts the committee's leaders in a tight spot and could have consequences.
They're tired of this situation now
From within the club, they know perfectly well that this is getting out of control and that there's no turning back in this war. Now, those responsible will have to come out and give explanations for these senseless decisions, whether they like it or not. Although everything depends on whether FIFA really intervenes decisively.
