A Spanish news report on Saturday stated that Real Madrid will continue to highlight the "mistakes" of referees assigned to its matches, escalating its refereeing crisis with the Spanish Football Federation. It has been reported that the Spanish Federation recently opened an investigation concerning Real Madrid's use of its television channel to produce video clips that highlight what it considers refereeing errors in its matches.
The Spanish newspaper "As" highlighted that Sevilla was the first club to file a complaint with the federation regarding this issue, arguing that the Merengues are putting pressure on referees. However, Real Madrid is not concerned about the investigation, as it believes it has the right to do so.
Consequently, the royal club's channel produced a video about referee Mario Melero López, who will officiate the Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo match tomorrow, Sunday, in La Liga. The channel spotlighted several "errors" by López, including the failure to award a penalty for a challenge on Eduardo Camavinga, a Real Madrid player, during a match against Rayo Vallecano while he was in charge of the video review system.
