The Clasico is set to be officiated by referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, while referee Gonzalez Fuertes will be in the video assistant referee room.
The Spanish network “COPE” reported that Real Madrid is astonished by referee De Burgos’s tears during the press conference held on the sidelines of the final.
The source added that Real Madrid believes that the referees are not mentally and psychologically prepared to manage such a match, and the royal club sees the referee crew as biased.
The source indicated that the Spanish Football Federation may take action and exclude the referee crew from officiating the final tomorrow, while the federation is waiting for Real Madrid to request a change in the referee crew.
De Burgos had broken down in tears during the press conference due to the criticisms directed at them, in addition to the clips published by Real Madrid’s channel against them.
