After the match between Mallorca and Barcelona, the few changes made by the CTA compared to last season could be observed. This has caused some fear and discomfort among several clubs regarding their matches. Real Madrid, above all, has been surprised that the VAR referee for its match against Osasuna will be Trujillo Suárez.
According to what we know at Defensa Central, Trujillo Suárez is the referee who didn't notify about the 5 penalties for Real Madrid during its last match against Osasuna. This situation, at the time, caused great indignation from Real Madrid. In addition to the penalties not called for Real Madrid, Trujillo Suárez did notify about a penalty in the white club's box.
Clearly, this has raised some doubts ahead of the match at Santiago Bernabéu. Despite how prepared Real Madrid is, the club could be affected by the refereeing decisions. While it's expected that there won't be any controversy, it's difficult for this not to happen.

Doubts about the refereeing
During much of the second half of last season, Spanish refereeing gave plenty to talk about. Refereeing decisions caused great dissatisfaction among several clubs, especially from Real Madrid. The Merengue team was harmed in multiple key matches with decisions that were not given any subsequent explanation.
Although the CTA made changes before the start of the season, the appointment of Trujillo Suárez has raised doubts. Assigning VAR to a referee who has caused much controversy in the past, precisely for Real Madrid, is not the most sensible decision.
For now, Real Madrid hasn't commented on this decision. This is because, with only a few hours left before the match, the club is focused on achieving victory. However, Real Madrid must be careful with refereeing that doesn't inspire any trust.
Unmade changes
After this surprise, all that's left is to wait for the start of the match to analyze the refereeing. Even so, Real Madrid's stance on this was clear during last season. The club, aiming to improve the competition and make LaLiga a better tournament, is clear that changes must be made.
