Overview
- Real Madrid TV said the club is compiling a report for FIFA on refereeing decisions affecting the team.
- The planned dossier will cover the first four LaLiga matchdays of 2025–26 plus disputed incidents from last season.
- The announcement followed a 1-2 win at Real Sociedad in which Jesús Gil Manzano sent off Dean Huijsen and VAR official Jorge Figueroa Vázquez did not call for a review.
- Head coach Xabi Alonso said the challenge warranted a yellow given Éder Militão’s proximity and added that the referee’s explanation did not persuade him.
- Reports note VAR guidance this season to avoid intervening in ‘interpretable’ plays, while club media also highlighted an annulled Arda Güler goal and prior contentious calls.
