Real Madrid Reported To Spanish Football Federation Over “Persecution And Harassment” Of Referee—-Sevilla have reported Real Madrid to the Spanish Football Association (RFEF) over the club’s broadcast of criticism of referees, including the official who will take charge of Sunday’s game between the two teams.

Quique Sanchez Flores’ side head to the Bernabeu tomorrow on the back of a four match unbeaten run in the league but they still sit 15th in the league.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid come into the game top of La Liga on the back of a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano after thumping second-placed Girona 4-0.

Sunday’s match also marks the first time Sergio Ramos returns to his former club in four years, but Sevilla’s decision to report their opponents has the potential to start the reunion off on the wrong foot.

In an official club statemement Sevilla said: ‘We wish to undeline in the strongest terms these orchestrated campaigns aimed at undermining refereeing integrity.

‘The club wishes to confirm through a written statement to the Competition Committee of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

‘We have reported the campaign of prosecution and harrassment towards the referee Diaz de Mera and Gonzalez Fuertes (VAR) for tomorrow evening’s game against Real Madrid orchestrated by Real Madrid TV, the official club television channel of Real Madrid.

‘We wish to formall report these events to the RFEF to see if these actions can be considered as a violation of competition rules or any other regulations.

‘The club also wishes to reiterate its strongest condemnation of these orchestratedcampaigns aimed at undermining the image of the refereeing body.

‘Causing serious harm to Spanish football and calling into question the integrity of the competition.’

The club have not specified which actions they believe to have called into question the integrity of the match officials.

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich—-Reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain have secured their place in yet another UEFA Champions League final after overcoming Bayern Munich in a fiercely contested semi-final clash.

Paris Saint-Germain have booked their place in the 2026 UEFA Champions League final after edging Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in a dramatic semi-final clash.

The decisive moment came early in the second leg, when Ballon d’Or holder Ousmane Dembélé fired home from close range after being picked out by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, giving PSG a crucial lead that ultimately proved to be the winner.

Despite the fast start, the game soon became defined as much by controversy as by clear-cut chances. Bayern were left frustrated after Nuno Mendes appeared to handle the ball while already on a booking, but the referee opted against issuing a second yellow card.

Further anger followed when another potential handball incident involving João Neves went unpunished, with officials ruling that the ball had deflected off a teammate in the build-up—therefore not meeting the criteria for a penalty.

Bayern, managed by Vincent Kompany, dominated large periods of the match and created several opportunities. Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala both came close, while goalkeeper Matvéi Safonov was called into action multiple times.

The German side eventually found the net through Harry Kane in stoppage time, but it proved too little, too late as PSG held on to secure their place in the final.

The result extends Bayern’s wait for another European title to six years, while PSG now have the opportunity to win back-to-back Champions League trophies, just a year after claiming their first.

Attention now turns to the final on May 30, where PSG will face Arsenal. The showdown promises high stakes, with either a historic first Champions League title for Arsenal or consecutive triumphs for the French giants on the line.
