Ahead of their match against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, Sevilla have released a statement to confirm that they have reported their opponents to the Federation over the published video that scrutinizes Isidro Diaz de Mera, the official of the party for party, and also. the VAR official.
“Sevilla FC proceeded to denounce this Saturday through a letter, before the Competition Committee of the RFEF, the campaign of persecution and harassment against the referee Diaz de Mera, appointed as the main referee of the match of tomorrow between Real Madrid and Sevilla FC, and also against Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes, appointed referee for the VAR, through Real Madrid TV, the official television channel of Real Madrid.
“Sevilla FC would like to formally report the current events to the federation, to assess whether it can be considered as a violation of the General Regulations of the RFEF or any other rule that is applicable to them.
“The club also wishes to reiterate its strongest condemnation of these behaviors and campaigns orchestrated to undermine the image of refereeing, causing serious damage to Spanish football and calling into question the integrity of the competition.”
