Real Madrid have ‘lost their head’ over referee attack

Real Madrid launched an unprecedented attack on the league’s referees, according to La Liga president Javier Tebas, who claims the team has “lost their head.”

After falling to Espanyol 1-0 on Saturday, Real Madrid sent a formal letter of complaint to the Spanish FA (RFEF) and the country’s High Council for Sports.

Real believed that Romero should have been sent off for a previous challenge on Kylian Mbappe, but the only goal of the game came from Espanyol defender Carlos Romero.

In the letter they claimed that officials – including video assistant referees (VAR) – are biased against them, “rigged”, and “completely discredited”.

The letter stated that Real Madrid’s decisions have reached a level of manipulation and adulteration that cannot be tolerated.

Speaking at a meeting with La Liga clubs, RFEF and representatives of Spain’s refereeing committee (CTA) on Thursday – which Real Madrid did not attend – Tebas said: ” Real Madrid wants to harm the competition, not just the refereeing group.

The letter they published the day before was the cherry on top, in my opinion, and they have crafted a victimhood story.

“The issue has been blown out of proportion, they have lost their head. Football doesn’t revolve around Real Madrid”.

Meanwhile, earlier on Thursday, RFEF chief Rafael Louzan had his seven-year ban from holding public office overturned by Spain’s Supreme Court.

A provincial court in Pontevedra Provincial Council ruled in 2022 against Louzan for misconduct during his presidency.

Following the Supreme Court’s consent, he was able to run for president of the RFEF in December.
