Rhino: Agencies – Real Madrid are preparing to take legal action against the Spanish referees after the controversy surrounding the decision not to send off Espanyol’s Carlos Romero for his violent tackle on Kylian Mbappe during their La Liga clash.

Real Madrid had filed an official complaint with the referees’ committee, asking for the audio recordings of the conversation between the referee and the video assistant referee (VAR) during the decision, but they have yet to receive a clear answer.

As a result, the club decided to resort to the administrative court to demand these recordings and reveal the behind-the-scenes of the decision that sparked widespread controversy in Spanish football.

According to sources close to the club, according to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid does not rule out taking further legal action, including resorting to criminal justice, if necessary, if the committee continues to refuse to hand over the recordings.

This escalation comes at a time when Real Madrid has decided to boycott the meeting that will be held today, Thursday, between the referees and La Liga clubs, in light of the escalating crisis between the royal club and the referees’ committee, reflecting an unprecedented tension between the two parties.
