Tensions are rising in Spanish football as Real Madrid is reportedly considering boycotting the upcoming Copa del Rey final, citing growing frustration over officiating decisions and perceived bias in domestic competitions.
According to sources close to the club, senior officials are deeply unhappy with recent VAR calls and disciplinary rulings that they believe unfairly penalized the team. This has sparked internal discussions about pulling out of the final as a form of protest.
“The integrity of the competition is in question,” a source said. “This goes beyond one game, it’s about consistent decisions that disadvantage Real Madrid.”
Though no official statement has been made, the club has filed a formal complaint with the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), which has yet to respond publicly. Emergency talks are reportedly being arranged to defuse the situation.
A potential boycott would not only disrupt the final but also ignite wider debates about fairness and transparency in Spanish football.
Reactions from fans have been mixed, with some backing the club’s firm stance and others concerned about the long-term consequences.
As the final approaches, all eyes remain on Real Madrid: Will they play or walk away?
