The referees, at war with Real Madrid, announce a surprising change in 2025

The relationship between Real Madrid and the refereeing body is getting worse.

Real Madrid has more than enough reasons to be very upset with the refereeing. Just yesterday, they were significantly disadvantaged against RCD Espanyol. Muñiz Ruiz on the field and Iglesias Villanueva in the VAR condemned the white team at Cornellà-El Prat.

The anger is very present in the white house. It's understandable, as it will take a long time to forget what happened against the perico team. In Valdebebas, they insist that there is a handball penalty by Jofre that wasn't called and claim that in Vinícius's goal, it's Mbappé who receives the foul.

However, the action that angers Real Madrid's leaders the most is Carlos Romero's foul on the Bondy star. It's a red card, there's no doubt about it. Well, the referee decided to give him a yellow card, and from the VAR, they didn't warn him about anything.

It's difficult to understand and hard to accept. The distance between Florentino Pérez and the refereeing body is huge and continues to grow. In fact, since the beginning of this year, the referees have been ordered not to accept any protocol details from the Madrid club.

Before, just like everyone else, they were given a series of details as a gesture of courtesy. However, the referees have stopped accepting them, which is a clear example of the bad relations between both parties.

Madridism has exploded

Since last night, social media has been in an uproar over what happened. Ancelotti's team's play wasn't the best, but with some correct decisions by the referee, the result would have been different. In fact, it's worth highlighting that Carlos Romero, who is the goal scorer, should have been sent off.

Given the circumstances, everything indicates that Madrid will have to play under these conditions. The truth is that it's nothing new, as Madrid's bad relationship with the entire refereeing body has been going on for a long time.
