แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ media outlet, reported that most La Liga clubs are calling for Real Madrid to be punished for using the media and issuing statements to put inappropriate pressure on the referee.

Earlier this week, Los Blancos wrote a four-page letter questioning the transparency and requesting the audio clip of VAR in their 1-0 defeat at Espanyol, particularly the moment when an opponent tackled Kylian Mbappe and escaped a red card.

Real Madrid TV, the media outlet of the capital club, has also released a video clip of the decision, while the club, under president Florentino Perez, is preparing to file a lawsuit with the Administrative Court to order the release of the audio clip of VAR.

On Thursday, the Royal Spanish Football Federation held an emergency meeting between the Referees Committee and representatives from each club in La Liga and the Segunda Division.

One of the agendas of the meeting was to call for Real Madrid to be punished for its inappropriate moves, which received a lot of support and no club objected.

Madrid was the only team that did not attend the meeting. While the clubs that have pushed for punishment the most are city rivals Atletico Madrid and Sevilla.

Before the meeting, the president of Athletic Bilbao and the director of Real Betis were both interviewed by the media expressing their displeasure with Real Madrid’s methods.

“The statement by Real Madrid is putting unnecessary pressure on referees,” Betis director Angel Harro began.

“I think referees have something to improve on, but it has to come from peaceful discussions, not from big actions or creating a buzz. “

Football associations have to enforce the rules much more strictly. We cannot allow statements like Real Madrid’s to be made comfortably because that would destroy football.”
