In the early afternoon, Real Madrid’s leaders had not decided to officially complain about the referees’ statements, but the indignation grew, and when it was approaching the time for training and the press conference, a step was taken, suggesting the change of referees, with special mention of Gonzalez Fuertes, responsible for the VAR.
Real Madrid watched the reaction of the fans, seeing how little by little the indignation was growing, to the point of deciding to file a formal complaint with the Federation and suggest that a referee who has spoken like this cannot officiate any match. It is even possible that they will not even show up for the final
They believe that a person who speaks like this about something or someone they are going to judge is not qualified to decide and pass judgment on anything, in clear reference to Gonzalez Fuertes.
The pulse is maintained: the pressure does not ease
The Spanish Football Federation remains firm in its position and sees no possibility of a change, but what is clear is that everything that has happened will take its toll on the Technical Committee of Referees.
