Heading in the final, Real Madrid have created a storm of controversy as they look to put pressure on the RFEF to change referees.

Los Blancos have been angered by the decision to name Ricardo de Burgoes Bengoetxea as the primary match referee with Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes as VAR.

Real Madrid have demanded the decision be reviewed ahead of the final against Barcelona and they have since submitted a formal request to the RFEF as a sensational twist.

The issue focuses on Gonzalez Fuertes, the VAR for the final, and his criticism of their infamous referee videos released by Real Madrid TV before selected games, with Burgoes Bengoetxea in tears in a press conference due to the criticism and the pressure he has been receiving.

As the saga rolls on, and Real Madrid demanded a last minute change of officials, the stakes have been ramped up, with tonight’s training session and press conference both cancelled.

La Liga president Javier Tebas, who has slammed Real Madrid’s attitude over the issue, in the latest battle between him and Los Blancos.

This isn't football, it's power grabs.

❌ He 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 Louzán because he doesn't do what he wants.

❌ He doesn't like TV commentators because they don't say what he wants...

As part of a huge social media tirade over the matter, Tebas has called out Real Madrid for a succession of ‘problems’ they have with the ‘establishment of Spanish football’.

Amongst the complaints from Tebas, he called out every step Real Madrid have taken on the matter, as they look to pressure the RFEF to give in to their demands.
