Medina Cantalejo Is in His Prime, He's Had a Perfect Record With Real Madrid Since the Letter

The letter presented by Real Madrid provoked a peculiar decision-making process on Medina Cantalejo's part.

Clearly tired of the refereeing controversies, Real Madrid submitted a letter to the RFEF several weeks ago. Requesting a reform of the refereeing system for the benefit of all Spanish clubs, the Merengue team has only been harmed. The reason for this lies in the referees that Medina Cantalejo has appointed for the club's matches.

The last seven referees who have officiated a Real Madrid match have had some connection to the "Negreira Case." A clear indication of Munuera Montero's intention to harm the Merengue team. Clearly upset by the letter submitted by the club, the appointment of these referees has been his way of taking revenge.

The last referee, Hernández Hernández, who will officiate the match against Real Betis also has a connection with Negreira. This has raised even more suspicions around a refereeing system that has been criticized for its inefficiency for several seasons.

Medina Cantalejo's Plan

Expressing their grievances about the refereeing, Real Madrid raised their voice after several controversies. The harsh tackle on Kylian Mbappé during the match against Espanyol that was not penalized with a red card was the last straw for the club. Witnessing how the refereeing did not make the fairest decisions, the team decided to take action.

However, Medina Cantalejo's actions have greatly harmed a Real Madrid that is still in the fight for LaLiga. Having started the year with a wide lead, now the battle for the title has tightened due to the controversies against the club.

While there is no explanation for the appointment of referees for the matches, it is curious that they all have a connection with Negreira. This is further evidence that the club, much to Cantalejo's dismay, was right to submit their letter to the RFEF.

Real Madrid's Good Decision

This entire situation has made it clear that Real Madrid has been right all along regarding refereeing issues. Furthermore, this has exposed a Medina Cantalejo who has made clear his plan to harm the current LaLiga champion as much as possible.
