A new scandal has erupted in Spanish football. Sevilla president José María del Nido has reacted sharply to Real Madrid's official complaint to the Spanish Royal Football Federation (RFEF) and the Supreme Council for Sports Affairs (CSD) regarding the refereeing.
The complaint was filed after Real Madrid lost 0-1 to Espanyol in La Liga. The Madrid club expressed dissatisfaction with the refereeing and questioned the fairness of the competition.
Sevilla president made a sharp statement
Jose María del Nido called Real Madrid's complaint a hostile and dangerous act against football:
"This is completely unacceptable. This not only puts the reputation of the referees in question, but also the reputation of the entire Spanish championship. The football world must strongly condemn such statements, both in public and in court. What is worse, Real Madrid is trying to damage Spanish football through its media resources - Real TV and other platforms. We cannot stand it!”
In his opinion, Real Madrid may be trying to put pressure on the referees and influence their future decisions:
“We fully support the referees and defend their independence. They are an important part of football and we must not allow interference in their work. This action by Real Madrid could negatively affect the referees’ ability to make free and impartial decisions, which is contrary to the principles of impartiality in football.”
Tense competition in the season and the championship race
The scandal came at a time when La Liga was in the midst of a fierce championship race. The current standings are as follows:
1. Real Madrid – 1st place
2. Atletico Madrid – 2nd place
3. Barcelona – 3rd place (2 points down)
The Madrid club's dissatisfaction with the referees may also be related to this intense competitive environment. Every point is very important, and mistakes and controversial decisions can have serious consequences for the clubs.
What is the reaction in the football world?
This situation in Spanish football is causing a lot of discussion among players, coaches, fans and officials. While many consider Real Madrid's complaint to be unjustified, some say it is a way for the club to defend its rights.
So far, the RFEF and CSD have not issued an official statement on the matter. However, the football federation is expected to express confidence in the referees and resist any pressure.
This dispute could escalate further in the coming rounds and lead to heated debates among football fans. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
