Real Madrid to File FIFA Complaint Against Referees Amid Growing Scandal

Details: Real Madrid is angered by referee Gil Manzano’s decision to send off Huijsen during the match against Real Sociedad, as reported by Diario SPORT. The club believes the red card was too severe, arguing that Militão was close enough to prevent the attack. Despite their objections, the referee did not change his decision or check VAR.

Right after the game, Real Madrid TV accused the officials of showing bias and announced plans to compile a report on refereeing mistakes from the last two seasons. They intend to present this report to FIFA to highlight concerns about officiating standards in Spain.

The club has been vocal in its criticism of referees, dubbing La Liga the “dirty Negreira league.” Their TV channel also referenced a 2023 EFE article, which alleged that Negreira advised Barcelona to “take care” of Gil Manzano.

Reminder: Real Madrid’s central defender received a red card in the 32nd minute of the match against Real Sociedad.
