Real Madrid TV continue controversial referee videos as El Clasico official scrutinised

In recent times, Real Madrid TV has regularly released videos scrutinising the referees of Los Blancos’ upcoming matches. They were called out for it earlier this season by Sevilla, who reported the matter to the Spanish Football Federation’s Competition Committee – it is currently being investigated.

Despite this, Real Madrid intend to continue releasing these videos, and they’ve released their latest ahead of Sunday’s final Clasico of the season at the Santiago Bernabeu. As per Diario AS, they have focused on the “mistakes” of Cesar Soto Grado, who win be the on-field official for the showdown clash.

They highlighted three incidents from last season’s league Clasico at the Spotify Camp Nou, which was won 2-1 by Barcelona. Soto Grado was on VAR for that match, and Real Madrid TV highlighted “errors” that included a possible red card for Gavi, and Marco Asensio’s disallowed goal at 1-1. A possible foul on Dani Carvajal in the build-up to Franck Kessie’s winner was also included.

  1. You got to ask yourself what VAR is for when you see these situations.

    Oh thats right, its to sculpt end results so your pals at betting companies will profit and you get to pick liga winners.

  2. Did they manage to include the Barca-Getafe match from earlier this year? You know, the one where he cost Barca three points was suspended for his performance?

    Thought not. The hypocrisy is astonishing. Accusing Barca of influencing referees and harming Spanish football when even the prosecutors have asked the magistrate to drop the bribery charges against them and no proof has been found after three years of investigation, while at the same time actively putting out these shameful videos and being investigated for it themselves.

    1. The magistrate didn’t drop it because he doesn’t see a reason to as responsible judges don’t close cases if there is slightest doubt. That is why they go on and hopefully Negreiras testimony will bring your shameful club to its knees.

      *7.3 millions paid to different accounts to obfuscate tracking. How many other clubs paid that amount?

      *Negreiras statements that he can help Barcelona with VAR and “that they would be better off with him”. Let us see what will happen when he sits down to answer questions about this.

      *Negreira being advised to fake sickness so he won´t have to testify. Of course, they saw through this charade and now he will have to answer questions. See asterix nr 2.

      *Negreira himself refuses to testify as he stated himself. A subpoena might change his mind haha. Refusing, just like any other person who has nothing to hide.

      Give it up, you sad clown. This is just a matter of time before your club will have to face its wrongdoings. The indications from asterixes above will certainly be taken into consideration, any reasonable jury would do so.

    2. A Barcelona fan speaking about hypocrisy and referees.
      Are you unwell fellow? It would only take some sort of disease to prompt you to write about that with a straight face.
      Let me guess, you are joking right?

      Right…?

    3. if that was such a clear cut case of Barcelona NOT bribing refs they would have dropped it already

      the reality is that it’s the opposite

      Barcelona are using all the tricks in books to influence the legal process

      Negreira is “sick”, he is “not a public figure”, he “can’t” testify, he is “senile” blah blah

      just wait untill he is in court

      you’re going down
