Real Madrid's executives met with Spain's refereeing body to discuss a formal complaint regarding a contentious referee decision that impacted their 1-0 loss against Espanyol. The club criticized referee Alejandro Muñiz Ruiz for not red-carding Carlos Romero after a foul on Kylian Mbappé, which led to Romero scoring the decisive goal. They accused the refereeing system of manipulation and requested access to the VAR audio related to the play. RFEF responded strongly to these allegations, prompting a tense yet constructive dialogue to address the concerns raised by Madrid's executives.
Real Madrid's complaint accused officials of "manipulation and adulteration" of the competition, stating that Spain's refereeing system was "completely discredited."
"It's normal that there are questions that have to be asked about an incident... If there'd have been a confrontation, which isn't what anybody expected or wanted, the meeting would have been over in five minutes."
