Atlético de Madrid has decided to jump into the fray and take a stance on the refereeing controversy that has arisen in recent weeks.
With an explosive tweet, Atlético de Madrid expresses its opinion on the matter:
"Danger, Machinery in Operation", it publishes: "The machinery has been running for several weeks and crushes everything in its path. Let's see who is brave enough to administer justice knowing they could be next..."
It is joined by a significant hashtag: #StopAcosoArbitralYa. It is Atlético's response to Real Madrid's initiative to renew the institutional foundations of the Federation to clear the polluted air left there by Enríquez Negreira.
Munuera Montero, Investigated and Benched
Meanwhile, Atlético, as a rival, adheres to the other version. The one that claims Real Madrid harasses and pressures referees to influence their decisions.
The truth is that the situation couldn't be more tainted. Today it has been revealed that Munuera Montero, who is already benched for his performance in the Osasuna-Real Madrid match, is being investigated.
For now, he has no match assigned for the next week, and UEFA has also removed him from its list to face the schedule.
Meanwhile, the company Talentus Sport, owned by Munuera Montero, is being investigated for a possible conflict of interest. In recent hours, its traces have been erased.
Possible Conflict of Interest of His Company
Apparently, Munuera Montero maintained professional relationships, through his company, with LaLiga, UEFA, the Spanish Federation, and clubs like Manchester City, Aston Villa, or PSG, something ethically questionable.
The issue is hot. And everything indicates that the controversy stirred up is nothing more than a new chapter in a long saga: The inevitable fall of the current structures of the Federation.
That has been Real Madrid's goal, to clean up Spanish soccer.
At the white club, they expect the resignations of Medina Cantalejo and Clos Gómez. Both are essential in what should be the beginning of the generation of Spanish soccer.
