Back in February, Real Madrid wrote a formal letter of complaint<\/a> to the Spanish FA (RFEF) and Spain’s High Council for Sports saying Spanish refereeing was “rigged” and “completely discredited”.<\/p>\n An emotional De Burgos Bengoetxea told a news conference: “When a child of yours goes to school and there are kids telling him that his father is a ‘thief’ and comes home crying, it’s totally messed up.<\/p>\n “What I do is try to educate my son, to say that his father is honest, above all honest, who can make mistakes, like any sportsperson.<\/p>\n “It’s not right what we are going through, many colleagues, and not just in professional football, but also at grassroots level.<\/p>\n “Everyone should reflect about where we want to go, about what we want from sport and from football.”<\/p>\n De Burgos Bengoetxea, who also officiates in Uefa club and international competitions, has previously taken charge of Clasico encounters.<\/p>\n Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes, who will be the video assistant referee (VAR) for the final, warned that officials could take action over Real Madrid TV’s broadcasts.<\/p>\n “Have no doubt that we are going to have to start taking much more serious measures than we are taking,” he added.<\/p>\n “We will not continue to allow what is happening. Soon, you will hear from us.<\/p>\n “We are going to make history, because we are not going to continue to bear what we are putting up with.”<\/p>\n After February’s letter of complaint, which followed a 1-0 loss to Espanyol, La Liga president Javier Tebas said Real Madrid had “lost their head”.<\/p>\n Later that month the RFEF condemned the “repulsive” abuse<\/a> suffered by referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero after he sent off Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham against Osasuna.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
