La Liga clubs demand Real Madrid punished for pressuring referees

On Thursday, the Spanish Football Federation held a meeting with all clubs in La Liga and Segunda, which Real Madrid chose not to attend, as the event was “created as a way for clubs to express their discontent” with… Los Blancos.

The La Liga leaders have decided to boycott the event amid anger at the Technical Referees Committee, who also attended the meeting.

Earlier this week, Real Madrid sent a strongly worded letter to the federation following a controversial 1-0 defeat to Espanyol, in which Carlos Romero, who went on to score the decisive goal, avoided a red card for a strong tackle on Kylian Mbappe.
