Real Madrid need to end this ridiculous war

Real Madrid president Perez is said to have launched a war against referees.

In the tense atmosphere of Spanish football, an underground war became public when Real Madrid - the giant of European football - declared war on referees. This action not only shocked the football world but also raised many questions about the future of La Liga.

Shocking statement from Bernabeu

In February, the Spanish Royal team issued a strong statement aimed directly at the refereeing community. Although it did not have the signature of President Florentino Perez, the Spanish media quickly pointed out that the Real Madrid chief was the "brain" behind this bold move.

Notably, the statement comes amid the ongoing Negreira scandal – involving payments from Barcelona to former referees – which continues to cause a stir.

Rather than confront his Barcelona counterpart Joan Laporta directly, Perez chose a different target: the refereeing community, a group that is under-protected and largely voiceless in the media. Real Madrid TV, the club’s official television channel, has repeatedly aired videos harshly criticizing refereeing decisions, putting referees in a difficult position.

"This not only damages the reputation and image of the referees, but also tarnishes the image of a club known for its reputation and pride," Spanish press commented.

La Liga referees are under fire.

Under increasing pressure, referees finally spoke out. The image of referee De Burgos Bengoetxea in tears as he spoke about the attacks from Real Madrid before the Copa del Rey final (taking place on the morning of April 27) became a symbol of the pain they had to endure.

Referee Gonzalez Fuertes also strongly responded: "We are not the enemy. It is time to speak up to protect the dignity of the profession."

What is notable in this fight is the weak response from the competent organizations. With the exception of Javier Tebas - President of La Liga, most organizations from the National Sports Commission (CSD) to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and the Association of Footballers (AFE) have kept suspiciously silent.

"This silence not only adds to the injustice but also becomes part of the crisis that Spanish football is facing," a football analyst commented.

Escalating tensions - threatening to boycott the tournament

Real Madrid did not stop at attacking through the media. The team also took things to the limit by threatening to withdraw from tournaments and demanding a change of referees - a move unprecedented in modern La Liga history.

"This fight is out of control. Such demands and threats are unacceptable in a professional tournament," Spanish media commented.

Mr. Perez is shaking Spanish football.

Football, by its very nature a beautiful and unifying sport, is being torn apart by this war. The voice of Spanish football lovers is becoming clearer and clearer: "Florentino, stop!".

For the sake of La Liga's integrity, for the future of Spanish football, it is time for all parties to sit down together and find a solution instead of continuing to escalate the conflict. Otherwise, the damage will not only come to the referees or Real Madrid, but also to the entire Spanish football scene.

As the Copa del Rey final approaches, Spanish football fans are not only waiting for the on-field action but also worrying about the developments in this underground war. Will Florentino Perez end his war against referees? Or will La Liga face a bigger crisis? The answer remains to be seen.
