JAKARTA - La Liga has reported Real Madrid's official complaint against the referee - who condemned the current system as truly distrustful and the target of manipulation and forgery - to the Spanish Football Federation Disciplinary Committee (RFEF).
Los Blancos sent an open letter of anger at the federation (RFEF) last week. They criticized the referee's decision in the 0-1 defeat against Espanyol in La Liga on February 2, 2025.
In fact, Real Madrid asked for audio recordings of conversations between officials on the field and VAR (video assistant referee) to be released.
Referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz and VAR referee Javier Iglesias Villanueva have chosen not to give a red card to defender Carlos Romero for a foul on Kylian Mbappe.

Romero then scored his only goal in the game. While the referee also annulled Vinicius Junior's previous goal.
A four-page letter sent by the Real Madrid Council said the decision exceeded the human error limit or referee's interpretation by describing the match as the culmination of a completely distrusted referee system.
Not only that, Los Blancos accused Muniz of distorting and falsifying the reality about what happened.
La Liga president Javier Tebas later accused Real Madrid of losing their minds in the referee's problem. He said the club had built a narrative as victims.
Tebas then warned that La Liga would file their own complaint over Real Madrid's claims, a league-confirmed move was taken on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, local time.
"We will file a complaint against the club against the Council (Real Madrid). We analyze it from a legal point of view because of course this type of letter cannot be tolerated," Tebas said after a meeting of La Liga clubs, federations, and the Spanish Referee Committee, which Real Madrid did not attend.
Other La Liga clubs also criticized Real Madrid's protests. Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido Carrasco accused Los Blancos of trying to destroy Spanish football.
