Real Madrid are reportedly hoping for a change of referee for Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Barcelona after being left “stunned” by Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea’s comments ahead of the match.
De Burgos Bengoetxea was reduced to tears when he spoke at a press conference before the game after being targeted by a video from Real Madrid TV which basically questioned his ability to officiate the match.
According to COPE, Real Madrid are shocked at the turn of events and “are waiting for the RFEF to take action and remove De Burgos Bengoetxea from the match”
Los Blancos believe he “is not ready to referee the match after breaking down in tears” just over 24 hours before the game is due to kick off in Seville.
