Real Madrid VS Spanish Football Federation Board ahead of Copa Del Rey Final

Controversial situation between Real Madrid and the Spanish Football Federation board over Copa Del Rey Final Clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid tomorrow 26th April, 2025

The Copa Del Rey Final between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is slatted tomorrow 26th April 2025 upon their successful qualifications through Semi Final.

However, the Federation appointed officials few days ago to officiate the Final, which is traditional. But due to statement made by the VAR Team read as follows: “We’re going to have to take stricter measures than the ones we’re taking now. In coming days, you’ll see that we’ll make history” lead them (Real Madrid) to dissatisfactory situation, they cancelled press conference, club dinner and train for today, they even threatened not to play the match and demanded an apology from the referees and a change of the appointed referee”,

The Federation insisted that they should NEVER change the referees if Real Madrid wishes not to play the match, good, it is their own discretion.

After the Federation’s threatening resist, Real Madrid released a Press statement as follows “Real Madrid CF considers the public statements made today by the referees designated for the Copa del Rey Final scheduled for tomorrow to be 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞”.“These clear protests, which have surprisingly focused attention on videos from a media outlet protected by freedom of expression as Real Madrid TV, deliberately carried out 24 hours earlier against one of the final’s participants, demonstrate, once again, the clear and manifest 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 of these referees toward Real Madrid”.“Even more surprising statements, in threatening tone, alluding to the referees’ unity, were used to announce alleged measures or actions that fall far short of the principles of fairness, objectivity, and impartiality that should prevail just hours before a football event that captures the attention of hundreds of millions of people around the world”.“Given the seriousness of what happened, Real Madrid hopes that those responsible for RFEF and refereeing body will act accordingly, adopting all the necessary measures to 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝 the prestige of the institutions they represent”. “Our club understands that unfortunate, inappropriate statements of the referees appointed for this match, made 24 hours before the final, cannot stain a sporting event of global importance that hundreds of millions of people will see and also out of respect for all the fans who plan to travel to Seville, and to all those who are already in the Andalusian capital”.

“Real Madrid understands that the values of football must prevail, despite the hostility and animosity that have been evident today, once again against our club, by these referees designated for the final”.

Henceforth, La Liga president Tebas statement AGAINST FLORENTINO PEREZ.

“This isn’t football, it’s power control… He [Florentino Pérez] doesn’t like Tebas because he doesn’t do what he wants… He doesn’t like Ceferin because he doesn’t do what he wants… He doesn’t like TV commentators because they don’t say what he wants…They do not want to move forward with the referees reform because it is not what he wants… And now, after the referees’ statements — fed up with the constant harassment from Real Madrid TV — he responds as he knows how: He skips training at La Cartuja, he doesn’t attend the official acts of the Cup final, he leaks that he will not be present at the Copa final.He doesn’t protest, he pushes.He doesn’t complain, he threatens. He doesn’t disagree, he punishes. He doesn’t want to improve football, he wants his own football. And this is not worst thing. The serious thing is that many allow it, consent to it and help him.”
