The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) responded through a statement to the unprecedented letter of Real Madrid in which he complained about the arbitration system and the VAR performance during the match against Espanyol. Although it is a replica to this letter -which the Madrid entity also referred to the Higher Sports Council -the federative entity does not mention the white entity or once in the text.
The organ chaired by Rafael Louzán regrets “deeply the tone and severity of the accusations that question the honorability of the arbitration estates and the functioning of the competition as a whole.” In this sense, they ensure that they understand that “there may be discrepancies on certain decisions”, but ask for “responsibility and respect” to all parties.
At the same time, they transfer their “respect and consideration” to all the referees and underline that the task of the members “is subject to the review and analysis”: “This cannot derive in generalized accusations that question their integrity, because not only It affects the referees themselves, but also erodes the credibility of football as a whole. ”
This cannot lead to generalized accusations that question the integrity of the referees, because it not only affects them: it also erodes the credibility of football “
With this argument, the RFEF summarizes to “reflect on the consequences of this type of systematic questions to arbitration.” In his opinion, “constantly delegitimizing arbitral work outside the established channels generates a climate of distrust that does not benefit either Spanish football or their competitions.”

From this perspective, the federative entity insists that “constructive criticism is always well received and necessary for continuous improvement”, but that “it must be carried out within the established frameworks and with the respect required by all the parties” that integrate Soccer
On the other hand, they say they are “immersed in a process of modernization and structural improvement in all areas of arbitration.” The objective of this process, they indicate, is “to advance with all Spanish football actors.” Along these lines, Real Madrid urge to express themselves in the “forums and meetings” that exist for this, specifying that this week there will be an encounter with all professional clubs to address this issue.
