Real Madrid TV yet again challenges referee’s call against Osasuna – ‘Another sad chapter’ | OneFootball

The controversy surrounding Real Madrid’s match against Osasuna last Saturday continues to dominate discussions. The focus remains on referee Munuera Montero, whose decisions, particularly the red card shown to Jude Bellingham, have sparked widespread debate.

According to the referee’s report, Bellingham was sent off for allegedly using offensive language. This decision has only fuelled the growing frustration among Madrid fans, who have already been vocal about officiating inconsistencies this season.

Real Madrid’s official television channel, Real Madrid TV, has taken a strong stance against Munuera Montero’s handling of the match.

What did they say?

On Monday, the channel reviewed his performance once again, criticising his decisions and arguing that he contributed to yet “another sad chapter that tarnishes the image of Spanish refereeing worldwide.”

One of the main points of contention is the claim that Real Madrid should have been awarded four penalties during the game.

According to the club’s media, Munuera Montero made crucial mistakes that directly impacted the outcome. Furthermore, they believe Bellingham’s dismissal was unwarranted, insisting it was “an alleged insult that he did not actually utter.”

This is not the first time Munuera Montero has been at the centre of refereeing disputes involving Real Madrid.

The club’s media has also brought up past incidents where his decisions went against them, including the infamous situation linked to the phrase “Everything is OK, Jose Luis.”

Such moments have only added to the feeling among Madrid fans that their team is being treated unfairly by match officials.

The fallout from last weekend’s game continues, with Real Madrid pushing for greater scrutiny of refereeing decisions. The debate over Munuera Montero’s officiating is unlikely to die down anytime soon, as frustration within the club and its supporters remains high.
