Real Madrid 'won't budge' on referee policy despite Copa del Rey controversy
Real Madrid will not be altering their approach to criticizing referees, despite the controversy surrounding their recent Copa del Rey final loss to Barcelona, reports claim.
The club's policy of producing videos scrutinizing referee decisions will continue, with Florentino Pérez's regime seemingly undeterred by the intense scrutiny.
The Copa del Rey final was marked by intense debate over the refereeing, with Real Madrid expressing frustration over the appointment of referee José María Sánchez Martínez not being the primary concern, but rather the perceived biases and lack of transparency.
Instead, it was the perceived shortcomings of referee Bengoetxea and VAR Pablo González Fuertes that drew the ire of the Madrid side.
Before the match, Real Madrid's behaviour sparked controversy, with the team skipping pre-game formalities and suggestions of a potential boycott.
Although the club later denied these rumours, they did criticize the "hostility and animosity" they perceived from the officials.
