The Spanish club Real Madrid is creating controversy one after another. From their players to their coaches, there are no exceptions to this list of controversies. The Spanish Football Federation has launched an investigation against the Madrid team for disseminating a video criticizing the referee.
This season, Real Madrid TV has been airing videos regularly criticizing referees before and after matches. Sevilla filed a complaint with the Spanish Football Federation before the match against Real in La Liga. The Spanish football governing body has started an investigation into the allegations.
Sevilla confirmed the investigation against Real. In a statement on Thursday, the club said they had been informed by the Spanish Football Federation to open an investigation against Real.
Many clubs have expressed their displeasure with Real’s videos before. And this time Sevilla showed courage. Barcelona president Juan Laporta called the Real Madrid TV videos ‘shameful’ in an interview with Catalan radio RAC1 last month.
Backing up the club president’s statement, Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez said Real Madrid TV videos completely influence the competition (La Liga) every week. He commented that even a blind person can understand it.
Luis Medea Cantaleho, the head of Spain’s refereeing organization, expressed surprise with this strange behavior of Real, ‘There is no team in the world that does this. What this TV channel is doing, I have not seen anywhere else. What they are doing, to me, seems absolutely negative. I’ve never seen that in 40 years of refereeing.’
