Overview

• Real Madrid TV released a video targeting referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández, falsely claiming a 54% win rate for the team under his officiating, later debunked as 57%.
• The video also resurfaced a 1994 interview in which Hernández Hernández, then 12 years old, stated his favorite team was Barcelona, to suggest bias.
• Independent outlets, including Sport, confirmed that Real Madrid's win rate under Hernández Hernández is higher than Barcelona's, contradicting the club's narrative.
• This follows a similar smear campaign against referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea in April, which led to emotional distress and player misconduct during the Copa del Rey final.
• The attacks come ahead of Sunday's decisive Clásico, where Real Madrid seeks to close a four-point gap on Barcelona in the La Liga title race.
