Real Madrid files a complaint with FIFA: the club accuses La Liga of biased refereeing.

REAL MADRID reports bias in refereeing in La Liga

According to The Sun: The REAL MADRID club is ready to file a report with FIFA regarding the actions of referees in La Liga, claiming that they are subjected to extremely biased treatment, particularly regarding the awarding of red cards.

These accusations have become a topic of discussion following the controversial red card issued to Dean Huyssen in the match against Real Sociedad on Saturday, where he was accused of an illegal stoppage of a goal.

The Madrid team was leading when Mikel Oyarzabal received the ball in the 32nd minute, trying to escape Huyssen's coverage. He committed a foul on the opponent, for which he received a direct red card, despite the fact that Eder Militao could have intercepted the ball.

The official Real Madrid TV channel emphasized that similar harsh decisions are often made against their team, and the club intends to highlight this situation in their appeals to FIFA.

The club plans to file a report that records the inequality in punishments for red cards compared to their rivals, particularly Barcelona.

“Real Madrid is preparing a report on everything that happened in the first four rounds of La Liga and what happened last season. A report that will be submitted to FIFA to pay close attention to what is happening in Spanish football from the perspective of refereeing.”

They claim that Barcelona receives significant advantages from red cards, while Real suffers from inconsistencies. Reports show that Madrid received two red cards, while Barcelona has a positive balance of +65 at the same time. The club cites examples from refereeing, emphasizing the need for changes in La Liga officiating.

Conflict between the club and La Liga

This situation marks the escalating conflict between the club and La Liga. Club president Florentino Perez has repeatedly hinted at biased refereeing, even considering the possibility of boycotting matches or the league itself.

“It is hard to bear when your son comes home from school in tears because some kids said his dad is a fraud.”

Many referees have already implemented measures to counteract the sense of hostility from Real. Despite all these issues, the team continues to perform successfully this season, notably winning 2-1 against Real Sociedad, even playing with ten men.

At present, Real is in first place in the standings, having four wins from four matches.

Thus, the Real Madrid club continues to emphasize the need for fair officiating in La Liga. Their report to FIFA may impact future decisions regarding the distribution of penalties in Spanish football. Experts are already discussing how these accusations could affect the reputation of referees and fans in the future.
