The longstanding friction between Real Madrid and Spanish referees has reached a boiling point, especially with the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona looming. The stakes are high, and the tension has spilled over into media confrontations, emotional press conferences, and even whispers of a potential boycott by Real Madrid.
RM TV has been a key player in this drama, launching pointed critiques against the referees assigned to the match, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea and Pablo González Fuertes, citing their controversial past decisions against the club.
In a rare joint press conference, the referees expressed their distress over RM TV's accusations, revealing the personal toll it has taken on their families. Bengoetxea, visibly emotional, recounted the pain of his son facing bullying at school due to the allegations, while González warned that the refereeing community is contemplating significant actions in response. Instead of calming the situation, Real Madrid issued a statement denouncing the referees' press conference as.
As reported by the Spanish publication Diario AS, insiders from the RFEF expressed concerns that if Real Madrid managed to instigate a referee change, Barcelona might follow suit in the future, creating a troubling precedent.

Speculation had reached a boiling point, hinting that Real Madrid could potentially boycott the final. However, those rumors were quickly dispelled as the club officially announced their participation. The statement labeled the boycott claims as unfounded.
With emotions running high and tensions at their peak, the stage is primed for one of the most intense Copa del Rey finals in recent memory.
