Real Madrid’s official television channel launched a furious attack following Sunday’s El Clásico, where Barcelona defeated the visitors 2-0 to seal the La Liga title. The broadcast criticized the referee, VAR, and match broadcasting policies, claiming the club was unfairly treated.
According to Spanish outlet *Marca*, presenters on the channel slammed the officiating, arguing that Real Madrid was clearly wronged when an elbow from Eric García on Jude Bellingham inside the box went unpunished early in the second half.
“It’s a clear elbow that deserves a red card. Anyone who has played football knows Eric García did it on purpose. This is another example of VAR’s failure to correct serious errors,” the channel said.
The criticism extended beyond refereeing, with the channel accusing La Liga of bias against Real Madrid in how matches are broadcast. “Viewers are being denied slow-motion replays of controversial incidents. If we don’t see them now, we never will. La Liga is not a serious competition. It’s the Tebas League, the Negreira League, a real circus,” the presenters added.
Commentators described the league’s broadcast quality as “a disgrace,” alleging that VAR “only intervenes when it harms Real Madrid,” directly accusing Spanish football authorities of bias against the club.
This media outburst comes during a turbulent week for Real Madrid, which follows controversy over Kylian Mbappé’s trip to Sardinia and reported tension in the dressing room that escalated into a fight between Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde, resulting in a €500,000 fine for both players.
As Barcelona celebrates its new title, Real Madrid faces a dual crisis on and off the pitch, with growing questions about the team’s future amid rising tensions among management, media, and the locker room.
