Real Madrid's running battle with referees: How did it start? When will it end?
Briefly

Real Madrid's long-standing conflicts with refereeing officials intensified just a day before the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona. The situation reached a new peak during the referees' prematch press conference, where emotions ran high. Referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea expressed his struggles, highlighting the pain of being labeled a 'thief' by fans. Another referee, Pablo González Fuertes, addressed the issue of Madrid's criticism of referees and announced the need for actions to be taken against such treatment. In protest, Madrid skipped key pre-game events, considering a boycott of the final.
When your son goes to school and people tell him his father is a 'thief,' it's really messed up.
We're going to have to take measures. We're not going to allow this to keep happening.
