Real Madrid journalist Tomás Roncero recently discussed refereeing controversies that Real Madrid has faced this season on the program "Carrusel Cadena SER". He believes that the referee for the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal, Díaz de Mera, made numerous errors, and directly stated that Spain's Technical Refereeing Committee (CTA) must address current problems.

Roncero: the Negreria case remains an open wound for Real Madrid

According to Roncero, the reason disputes surrounding Spain's refereeing system continue to escalate is that Barcelona has not yet been punished in the "Negreria case".

"Not only Real Madrid fans should be complaining; the entire football world should demand justice. For Real Madrid fans, the prolonged lack of a verdict in the Negreria case remains an open wound".

He also referenced the previous Madrid derby. In his view, Atlético Madrid should have been reduced to ten men before halftime. Roncero believes that the controversial decisions in the derby, combined with similar incidents in Real Madrid's previous matches, have further reinforced Real Madrid fans' suspicions about the current refereeing system.

"When in doubt, the decision always goes against Real Madrid"

Regarding recent controversial decisions, Roncero also compared two incidents involving Valverde and Vinícius.

Valverde was once deemed "not intelligent enough" for continuing to play after being fouled by Lee Kang-in without falling. However, Roncero noted that Saliba also did not protest much after having his hair pulled in a previous match, yet VAR still intervened and ultimately led to Vinícius's expulsion.

"So the argument in Valverde's favor does not hold water. This season we have already seen Vinícius being struck from behind and Haysén being hit with an elbow to the face. It seems there are several key decisions in every match, and the outcome is always against Real Madrid. When there is doubt, the coin always falls on the opposite side for Real Madrid".

Roncero further stated that Real Madrid fans' loss of confidence in the current refereeing system is now difficult to overcome. He believes that some referees have connections to the Negreria era or were trained in that system, making it difficult for the public to believe that the refereeing environment can change organically.

He also argued that some past decisions favoring Barcelona may have influenced referees' career trajectories: "These erroneous decisions that favored Barcelona can instead help referees advance further, become international referees, and even officiate Copa del Rey finals. That is how they influence the refereeing system. Until a new group of referees emerges, untainted by past controversies, this situation will be difficult to change".

Supports Real Madrid TV's release of videos on controversial refereeing decisions

At the end of the program, Roncero addressed other refereeing controversies in Spanish football in recent years. He mentioned that before the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, two referees initially assigned to officiate the match publicly criticized Real Madrid.

"Any referee currently in the CTA knows that if he makes an error that benefits Real Madrid, he will likely face consequences; but if the error benefits Barcelona, he knows his position will actually improve significantly".

Roncero also expressed support for Real Madrid TV (RMTV) in its ongoing practice of releasing videos about refereeing controversies: "Sometimes you have to fight injustice. The videos released by RMTV use real footage, not AI-generated content".
