2025 Copa del Rey final controversy

Ahead of the 2025 Copa del Rey final, RMTV broadcast a video criticising the appointed match referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, stating that opponents Barcelona won more often than Real Madrid in matches he refereed. RMTV disparaged De Burgos Bengoetxea for never being appointed to matches in the UEFA Champions League or FIFA tournaments, and included footage of several alleged refereeing errors against Real Madrid. De Burgos Bengoetxea and fellow final official Pablo González Fuertes responded in a press conference highlighting the difficulties faced by officials and their families in comments that Real Madrid branded 'unacceptable'.
