La Liga accused a Real Madrid official of trying to get competitive merit by pressuring referees on Spain’s most sensible flight.
The latest dispute between the domestic league and one of its top clubs revolves around a Madrid performance against the referee of Saturday’s 4-2 win over Osasuna.
The Whites considered that Juan Martínez Munuera had chosen to omit from his fitness report the appearance of the fans of the house chanting “Vinicius, die” in El Sadar, which provoked the reaction of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) and Osasuna to pronounce themselves.
In its own statement, the CTA points out that Munuera had indeed commented on the Vinicius Jr. incident in his article and La Liga has now expressed its “absolute rejection” of Madrid’s complaint.

As part of its “firm commitment to eliminate all bureaucracy of violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in football, as well as carrying out awareness and prevention campaigns”, La Liga is under pressure to report all incidents similar to those that occurred in first and second department matches to the Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation as well as to the National Commission against Bullying. violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport.
“In this sense, the Executive Committee of La Liga considers that this complaint is one more manifestation of the incessant crusade carried out by Real Madrid CF against the Spanish referees, with the alleged objective of pressuring the referees, to unload a competitive merit with the decisions that this organization will have to make,” La Liga continued. as part of a serious rhythm of opposition to Madrid.
The League claimed that Munuera’s conduct had been “impeccable” in “scrupulous” compliance with the rules.
At the same time, La Liga considers that any behaviour that undermines the integrity of the festival “must be avoided”, so it “shows its fear and rejection of this type of movement that is carried out through Real Madrid CF and that goes against those values”.
At the time of this publication, Madrid had still responded to La Liga’s statement.
Heading into the foreign break, the club’s most sensible team earned an eight-point merit over their bitter rivals, FC Barcelona, in the most sensible part of the table.
