Real Madrid TV Slams Referee: Too Many Suspicious Calls; They Want to Keep Real Madrid’s Forwards Out of El Clasico

In the early hours of September 25, Real Madrid narrowly won 3-2 against Alavés in La Liga. After the game, Real Madrid TV criticized the performance of the referee, Muniz Ruiz, sarcastically remarking, “Thanks to these calls, soon players will be missing El Clasico…”

During the match against Alavés, Real Madrid once led 3-0 and eventually won 3-2 with difficulty. The refereeing of Mr. Ruiz was lambasted by Real Madrid TV: “Terrible calls. Abuse of power, arrogant, and haughty.” They then added, “Something fishy is going on. These aren’t just bad calls, they’re suspicious.”

The commentary from Real Madrid TV pointed out that the increase in yellow cards is related to the El Clasico on October 26: “The issue with yellow cards is serious. At this rate, the forwards will accumulate many yellows because they are too aggressive… Real Madrid is facing a system. Today, people were shouting: ‘Corruption in the Football Association and Negreira, Negreira.’ Vinicius was fouled but received a yellow card. This is Tebas’ La Liga. Real Madrid got four yellow cards. El Clasico is coming up. Real Madrid is now undefeated in 39 games and will play the Madrid Derby on Sunday, where they should have been awarded three penalties last year.”

“Seven yellow cards in two games. Two suspicious calls, ambiguous calls that make you feel there’s something more going on behind the scenes. When we knew Muniz Ruiz would be officiating, we knew what would happen. After not awarding three penalties in Real Madrid’s match against Betis, he’s here again today. No offside or penalty. Such suspicious refereeing, when mistakes are made, the way yellow cards are given is like this. Thanks to these calls, soon players will miss games. This arrogance or haughty attitude on the field instead punishes those who are fouled. They are constantly punished. We feel the players getting the most yellows are the best performers: Modric, Bellingham…”

“The referee’s performance today was very ambiguous. How many cards will be shown in the next game? Who knows what will happen on Sunday. The calls were terrible. Whenever Real Madrid achieves something in attack, they show yellow cards. I wouldn’t rule out them showing more yellows while Real Madrid players are sleeping.”
