Federico Valverde of Real Madrid recently defended referees in a press conference, stressing that officials, like players, are human and can make mistakes. His comments offered a refreshing perspective amidst growing tensions regarding officiating. However, he later clarified his statements due to pressure from fans and the club, who feel that referees are biased against them. This sentiment has escalated to the point where the club has formally communicated with the Spanish Football Federation and the government to address their grievances regarding officiating decisions, indicating a larger issue in the league.
If you prick Darren Cann, does he not bleed? I'm not one to judge the referee, Valverde said, highlighting the humanity of officials.
Madrid believes the referees are against them, claiming the Spanish officiating system is biased and designed to protect itself, even writing to the government.
