Real Madrid Begins to Suffer the Consequences of Its Controversial Statement. Meanwhile, in the white club, they do not doubt that they are experiencing the revenge of the refereeing class.
Before Florentino Pérez published the statement, Real Madrid had been awarded 10 penalties in favor and none against. They had 2 players sent off, but in 3 matches, they played against ten due to an opponent's expulsion.
After the statement, Real Madrid has played two matches: 0 favorable penalties, 2 against, 1 sent off, and 0 opponents sent off.
Everything Started with Florentino Pérez's Note
The change is spectacular. It confirms the vengeful spirit of the refereeing class in the face of the danger of the prevailing system collapsing like a house of cards.
It also confirms that everything started with Real Madrid's public note, recalling Gerard Piqué's phrase of gratitude to singer Kevin Roldán.
The next chapter will be the punishment Jude Bellingham will receive for his controversial "Fuck off" that earned him a red card in the Osasuna-Real Madrid match.
The Drafting of the Report Works Against Real Madrid. This is how Munuera Montero explains what happened on the field:
"In the 40th minute, player (5) Bellingham was sent off for addressing me, being a few meters away, in the following terms: "Fuck you".
The Interpretation of the Competition Committee
If the Competition Committee considers this expression as a direct insult to the referee, the punishment will be between 4 and 12 matches. If it is deemed "disrespect," the punishment would be 2 or 3 matches of suspension. What is certain is that the next match, against Girona, the English international will not play.
Real Madrid begins to suffer the consequences of its request to completely overhaul the refereeing establishment. Madrid has no use for Medina Cantalejo, Clos Gómez, and nine referees. They have played hard and can save Spanish soccer from its corrupt state or lose and suffer the corresponding reprisals.
As events are unfolding, the second option seems more likely. Florentino has not managed to get the rest of the clubs to join his bus.
