"Tell him he's judging everything in Barcelona's favor" - Bellingham's complaint to the captain in the first half

Real Madrid lost to Barcelona 3-2 in the Copa del Rey final, but the main story is the Kings' behavior towards referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea. 

Before the match, the current Spanish and European champions released a video with referee decisions allegedly in favor of Barcelona.  

De Burgos Bengoetxea then made an emotional public appearance, revealing that his son was being bullied at school because of the Real Madrid video. 

This referee ended the match by giving three red cards to Real Madrid players. 

After the match ended in extra time, Jude Bellingham was sent off by the referee, showing him a second yellow card for aggressively approaching him after the final whistle.  

He also showed red cards to two other Real Madrid players who were substituted earlier. Antonio Rudiger received one for throwing ice at the referee and Lucas Vázquez for protesting on the pitch.
