Medina Cantalejo's Warning to Real Madrid About the VAR Audios: It Will Be Better

The unexpected words of warning that Real Madrid has received from Medina Cantalejo

The controversy after the match against Espanyol continues for Real Madrid. After submitting a letter to the RFEF, the club demanded to have the VAR audios of the play between Romero and Mbappé. With the Espanyol player making a hard tackle on the Frenchman that didn't receive a red card, the merengue team seeks explanations for this decision.

"It will be better, meanwhile, not to resort to those avenues, pacify and reach agreements". These were the words of Medina Cantalejo regarding Real Madrid's threat to go to court. Issuing a clear warning, the president of the CTA has tried to show other ways in which Real Madrid can handle this situation.

"Whoever wants to sue has every right in the world to exercise their right, to whatever" he added. Despite this, the team is clear that it must maintain its current stance, which led it not to attend the summit between the RFEF, LaLiga, and the CTA.

The warning to Real Madrid

Tired of suffering constant injustices, Real Madrid seeks to make a change in refereeing. Both in the disallowed goal to Vinícius and the hard tackle on Mbappé, the club seeks answers to the questionable refereeing decisions. Losing the match in Cornellà due to these irregularities, the merengue team's clear frustration is evident.

Medina Cantalejo's words only highlight his stance on this. Trying to portray Real Madrid as the villain, Medina has proposed an agreement as a solution.

While he was clear that Madrid is within its rights, this was nothing more than an attempt to tarnish the club's image. Trying to clean up the refereeing's image, the stance taken against the merengue team is evident.

A long struggle

Aware that the change it hopes to achieve won't happen overnight, Real Madrid is on the brink of a long struggle. However, with the goal of improving refereeing in Spanish soccer, the club is clear that it won't give up.
