Real Madrid TV releases video of the referee who will referee the Copa del Rey final

Real Madrid have become known for releasing videos of referee decisions, and the latest of these was posted on the eve of the Copa del Rey final, which sees them face Barcelona at La Cartuja.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the man in the middle for the Superclasico will be Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea, who is one of the most experienced referees in Spanish football. The 39-year-old has taken charge of El Clasico on several occasions and this will be his last.

But on Thursday, De Burgos Bengoetxea became the latest referee to be the subject of Real Madrid TV's referee review videos. According to Marca, RMTV has highlighted alleged "mistakes" made by the official in matches involving Los Blancos.

"With the Basque referee, Real Madrid only has a 64 percent win rate. On the other hand, Barcelona has an 81 percent win rate. An incredible difference, to which is added the fact that Ancelotti's team has won only two of the last five matches with him on the field," wrote Marca.

But the most surprising thing comes next, because even though Ricardo de Burgos has never been an international reference from FIFA for international competitions.

"FIFA has not counted on him for any of its competitions. However, in Spain this will already be his third final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​after the 2017 and 2023 Super Cups. A recognition in Spain that he does not have at the international level, but even so he continues to referee matches of this caliber," it further states.

The hope of everyone involved in this match is that it will pass without controversy, which has happened in the previous two El Clasico meetings this season.

Barcelona won both, but with Kylian Mbappe and Ferland Mendy back from injury, Real Madrid will be hoping they can get revenge. /Telegraph/
