Real Madrid Won’t Play The Copa del Rey Final Unless This is Resolved!
The situation surrounding the Copa del Rey final, scheduled for this Saturday between Real Madrid and Barcelona, has become critical. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has only a few hours to address the controversial statements made by the match officials assigned to the game, González Fuertes and De Burgos. Their comments have sparked widespread criticism of Real Madrid and its TV channel, unleashing a wave of backlash from Madrid fans.
Josep Pedrerol, a well-known Spanish journalist, revealed that if the RFEF does not respond satisfactorily, the Real Madrid squad will return to the Spanish capital tomorrow morning. It has also been reported that the club is considering leaving if the RFEF does not take action regarding VAR official González Fuertes.
The press conference held by González Fuertes triggered a real storm at the Santiago Bernabéu. The club finds it unacceptable for a referee to speak negatively about any professional football team while fulfilling their official duties. According to the club, this jeopardizes the integrity and impartiality expected from match officials.
More than just a sporting issue
As a world-renowned club with a long-standing football legacy, Real Madrid cannot allow its reputation to be tarnished by remarks it deems inappropriate. The current situation is not only a sporting challenge, but one that could significantly impact the image of the RFEF and public trust in referees.

All eyes are now on the Spanish Football Federation, which must act quickly to prevent this conflict from escalating further. The Copa del Rey final is a major event, and the anticipated spectacle must not be overshadowed by refereeing controversies. The decision made in the coming hours will be key in determining the outcome of the tournament and the relationship between Real Madrid and the RFEF.
The wait continues, and more than 30,000 fans traveling from Madrid to Seville are eager to see how the situation unfolds. The RFEF’s response could change the course of the final, and Real Madrid is ready to act accordingly.
