Real Madrid Slams Referees' Pre-Final Statements as "Hostile" and "Unacceptable"

Real Madrid has issued a strong statement criticizing the referees assigned to the Copa del Rey final, set to be played tomorrow, April 26, 2025. 

The club described the referees' public remarks earlier today as "unacceptable" and accused them of showing clear hostility towards Real Madrid.

The controversy centers around the referees' reaction to recent videos aired by Real Madrid TV, which criticized officiating decisions. The referees reportedly made comments hinting at unity and hinted at possible retaliatory actions, something the club said undermines the principles of fairness and impartiality expected just hours before such a globally significant match.
