The referee of the Spanish Cup final cried at the press conference due to criticism from Real Madrid"s TV

Judge Ricardo De Burgos Bengoechea could not contain his emotions at the press conference before the Spanish Cup final between Barcelona and Real Madrid, breaking down in tears due to harsh criticism from the "Los Blancos" club television.

This is reported by TUT.AZ with reference to "Championship".

"When your son is told at school that his father is a 'thief,' and he comes home in tears, it's really hard," said the emotional Bengoechea at the press conference.

Earlier, the "Los Blancos" television released a three-minute analysis of the referee's mistakes. The material particularly emphasized that under the Basque referee's officiating, Real Madrid wins only 64% of matches, while Barcelona wins 81% of games.

Real Madrid now insists that the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) remove referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoechea from officiating the Spanish Cup final, where "Los Blancos" will face Barcelona on April 26.

According to the source, the "Royal Club" expressed surprise at Bengoechea's behavior at the pre-match press conference, where the referee could not hold back tears due to criticism from the club's television. Previously, Real Madrid TV prepared a compilation of the referee's mistakes and emphasized the statistics of team victories under his officiating.

The Spanish giant is convinced that after such an emotional breakdown, Bengoechea is not ready to work at the Spanish Cup final.
