  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    According to Relevo, Madrid are asking their own fans to sing, 'Corruption in the Federation' in the 12th minute of their La Liga clash with Girona on Sunday. This comes amid their ongoing criticism of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and the Referees Committee (CTA) following several refereeing decisions that haven't gone their way.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The report adds that this is a 'significant' change as Madrid had previously urged supporters to not take part in this type of chanting but now president Florentino Perez wants 'war' with Spanish football.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    This recent ill feeling towards the refereeing in Spain has stemmed from Jude Bellingham's red card against Osasuna and the officiating in their 1-0 loss to Espanyol.
