Another twist. At the Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Real Madrid there are still 24 hours but the atmosphere is already very hot, if not irressable. After The tears of Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxeathe referee of the Clásico of tomorrow, in this afternoon’s press conference, here is another bang: Real Madrid has decided to erase all the activities planned on the eve. And now tomorrow’s final is in doubt.

in silence

No joint photos of the two coaches, no press conference by Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric, no training. The first was scheduled at 7 pm on the lawn of the Olympic Cartuja stadium, the second at 19.15, the third at 20, with the Blancos who had already carried out a part of training this morning in Valdebebas before traveling to Andalusia. In the afternoon, Madrid had already made it known that Florentino Perez would not go to the dinner of the two clubs, and a few minutes before 19 the press room of the Siviglia stadium had a jolt: the Tam Tam of the decision of the Casa Blanca took strength until it was confirmed, even if initially not officially.

Madrid very hard

The press release came around 8pm. Very hard. “Real Madrid considers the public events made today by the referees designated for tomorrow’s match. These declarations, which have put the videos of a means of communication protected by freedom of expression in a surprising form as a realmadrid TV, made in a premeditated way 24 before one of the participants in the final demonstrate, once again, a clear and manifest animosity and hostility of these referees against Real Madrid. More surprising, made with threatening tone and with allusions to the unit of the arbitration body to announce theoretical positions and actions that are very far from the principles of fairness, objectivity and impartiality that should play a few hours after a football event that attracts the attention of hundreds of millions of people all over the world “. Madrid does not officially ask for the change of the referees, but closes as follows: “In the face of the gravity of what Real Madrid happened, he expects the managers of the Federation and the arbitration leaders move accordingly, adopting the actions corresponding to the defense of the prestige of the institutions they represent”.

the facts

De Burgos Bengoetxea had started to cry, telling that his son returned to tears from school after his companions had told him that his father is a thief, while Gonzalez Fuertes, designated to the Var, had denounced the siege to the referees brought by Real Madrid for a few months through video denigrators issued by the club’s TV. After the appearance of the two whistles, the media related to Madrid began to talk about incapacitation, of the necessary change of the refereeing body chosen for tomorrow, with Flick who at the press conference had launched a message of peace by tending to the referees and inviting everyone to lower tones and temperature. His appeal has remained unheeded, with Madrid who made this sensational decision.

the question

The tension is obviously very high and the media present here at the Cartuja now ask the next question: will Real Madrid be presented tomorrow? There are no indications on the matter, and everything suggests that the blancos will regularly be at the start of this poisoned clásico but other twists and turns cannot be excluded and in fact the party of those who think of a sensational no blancos show becomes more and more numerous.

the previous one

Recall that at the end of October, Real Madrid at the last minute decided to boycott the ceremony for the assignment of the Golden Ball after discovering that Vinicius had been beaten by Rodrigo. A delegation of almost 100 people ready to go to the airport remained at home to undo the suitcases.

Tebas replies

The president of the Liga, who has long been in dialectical and judicial struggle with Florentino Perez, said his on X with the usual clarity and hairless on the language: “This is not football, it is a struggle for power. He does not like Tebas because he does not do what he wants. He does not like Ceferin because he does not do what he wants. He does not like Louzan (the president of the Federation, nd.) Tv journalists because they do not say what he wants. Protest, it is pressing. And the most serious thing is not that you try. The serious thing is that many allow this, they allow it and help it. “
