Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez stated in a Tuesday press conference that the club will submit a 500-page document and a video to UEFA, compiling what they consider to be refereeing decisions that have cost them 16 points this season. Spanish newspaper AS has broken down the specific incidents.
Below is the summary of the refereeing decisions that Real Madrid claims have cost them 16 points, which have been compiled into the video to be submitted to UEFA:
Matchday 12: Rayo Vallecano 0-0 Real Madrid
Referee: Martínez Munuera. VAR: Figueroa Vázquez.
(2 points) Real Madrid argues three penalties were not awarded: a pull on Bellingham by Chavarría in the 22nd minute; Ciss pushing Güler in the 47th minute; and a foul on Mbappé during a stoppage-time attack beyond the allotted time.
Matchday 14: Girona 1-1 Real Madrid
Referee: De Burgos Bengoetxea. VAR: Pulido Santana.
(2 points) Girona’s opening goal by Onaivu came just before half-time, with Real Madrid protesting that Mbappé was pushed by Álex Moreno during the build-up. In the 80th minute, with the score 1-1, Rodrygo was tripped in the box by Joel Roca, but neither the referee nor VAR awarded a penalty.
Matchday 15: Real Madrid 0-2 Celta Vigo
Referee: Quintero González. VAR: Figueroa Vázquez.
(3 points) Real Madrid claims Borja Iglesias should have been sent off for elbowing Bellingham in the 58th minute, and that a penalty should have been awarded in the 79th minute for a foul on Carreira, both incidents occurring when the score was 0-1.
Matchday 25: Osasuna 2-1 Real Madrid
Referee: Quintero González. VAR: Figueroa Vázquez.
(2 points) In a crucial match with the same officiating crew, Real Madrid lost top spot and never regained it. In the 34th minute, Quintero showed a yellow card to Budimir for diving after a challenge involving Courtois and Raúl Asensio. Real Madrid complains that despite not being a clear error and being a subjective call, Figueroa still called Quintero to the pitchside monitor, leading to a penalty reversal that gave Osasuna the lead.
Matchday 30: Mallorca 2-1 Real Madrid
Referee: Sánchez Martínez. VAR: Javier Iglesias Villanueva.
(3 points) Real Madrid was affected by Federico Valverde’s absence after his red card in the Madrid derby for a tackle on Baena. Early in the match, Madrid appealed for a handball by Pablo Torre on a cross from Mbappé. In the 90th minute, Mallorca scored the winner, which Madrid claims originated from a foul on Mastantuono.
Matchday 31: Real Madrid 1-1 Girona
Referee: Alberola Rojas. VAR: Trujillo Suárez.
(2 points) In the 88th minute, Mbappé was elbowed in the box by Vitor Reis, causing a bleeding wound on his right eyebrow. The referee did not award a penalty, and VAR did not intervene.
Matchday 32: Betis 1-1 Real Madrid
Referee: Soto Grado. VAR: González Fuertes.
(2 points) Real Madrid submits two claims: with the score 0-1 (Betis equalized in stoppage time), a shot by Brahim Díaz in the 23rd minute was allegedly blocked by a handball from Ricardo Rodríguez, but Soto Grado ruled Bellingham offside in the build-up, though reports say Bellingham was onside. Secondly, during Betis’ equalizer, Madrid claims Anthony grabbed Ferland Mendy, preventing him from clearing the ball, and a foul should have been called.
