Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, the Referee Committee is
highly dissatisfied with Real Madrid’s official TV for their ongoing criticism
of referees. It is reported that Soto Grado will be officiating Real Madrid’s
match against Real Betis this upcoming weekend, but Real Madrid’s official TV
has once again released a video protesting against the referee ahead of the
game. This is not the first time that Real Madrid’s official TV has protested
against refereeing decisions before matches. The video released by Real
Madrid’s official TV highlights instances where Soto Grado allegedly overlooked
fouls during previous Real Madrid games. Additionally, footage from last
season’s El Clasico is also broadcasted, where Soto Grado was serving as the
Video Assistant Referee (VAR). It is claimed that he ignored a foul committed
by Gavi and failed to advise the referee to disallow a goal scored by Real
Madrid. These videos from Real Madrid’s official TV have contributed to further
deteriorating the atmosphere surrounding the game. The referees naturally feel
uncomfortable with such videos, as they only serve to intensify the already
tense atmosphere surrounding the match. It is important to note that the
information provided is based on media reports, and the actual sentiments and
actions of the Referee Committee may vary.
