Intimidation or Fair Play?

Real Madrid TV Release Video of Referee Ahead of Copa del Rey Final

RMTV shared a video featuring referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea in anticipation of the exciting Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, scheduled for Saturday, 26 April.

A 39-year-old referee, experienced in Spanish football, has officiated El Clasico multiple times.
Los Blancos is skeptical of the referee's appointment, sharing a video highlighting perceived injustices.

Spanish giants release videos via RMTV to scrutinize referees before key matches, highlighting alleged mistakes and lack of experience outside La Liga, as per Marca.

Fans online think it's an intimidation tactic. One commented: "Blaming the ref before the game is outrageous." Another replied: "It's not blaming the ref. It's influencing him. It should be banned."

A 3nd fan remarked: "It's insane how Madrid intimidates referees through the media. How have UEFA or FIFA not acted?"
