Following a painful defeat against FC Barcelona in El Clásico, Real Madrid has retaliated, and it’s with a verbal wrecking ball. The club’s in-house channel, Real Madrid TV, has launched an unprecedented broadside against the league, the referees, and an alleged ‘manipulation’ of TV images. According to their commentary, the club believes it’s being deprived of success not due to sporting inferiority, but because of a corrupt system.
A particular incident in the 55th minute was the last straw for the channel: Eric García’s challenge on Jude Bellingham in the penalty area went uncalled. For the experts on the white-shirted home broadcaster, this was a clear scandal.
«Perhaps a shove to the neck is a bit more, but we didn’t see that. What we did see, however, was an elbow from Eric García that clearly justifies, first, a penalty, and second, a red card,» the commentary raged on RMTV.
However, the criticism of referee Alejandro Hernandez was merely a prelude. The real anger was directed at the Video Assistant Referee’s (VAR) inaction: «It’s further proof of the VAR’s inactivity, which fails to correct a potential injustice. If this is deemed a play, then anything can be a play. Anyone who has ever played football knows that Eric García did that intentionally.»
Real Madrid TV: Conspiracy Theories Surrounding the Broadcast Direction
The rhetoric on the channel increasingly veered into the extreme as the broadcast progressed. They accused the VAR of having a targeted agenda against the record champions: «Every time there are dubious game situations, the VAR intervenes when it suits them. And when does the VAR intervene? It only intervenes to harm Real Madrid.»
But it didn’t stop there. RMTV accused the TV producers of active censorship. They claimed that crucial scenes, such as a potential red card for Barça’s Dani Olmo, were intentionally not shown in replays.
«The viewer is being denied a replay of something that simply happened. If we haven’t seen it by now, we won’t see it, like so many other things that weren’t shown,» it was stated in an emotional tirade.
Real Madrid TV: «The Spanish League is Not Serious»
The final blow was aimed at the leadership of LaLiga and its president, Javier Tebas. The Madrid-based club sees itself as a victim of a media staging orchestrated by dubious service providers.
«The Spanish League is not serious. The Spanish League, run by Tebas, by Negreira. It’s a circus and a joke. It’s terrible. What a shame, this transmission of the Spanish League,» the channel fumed.
They specifically held the company HBS and its involvement with Mediapro responsible for a «manipulation of the broadcast.» They accused the directors of pursuing a clear «editorial line» aimed at systematically disadvantaging Real Madrid.

Paraphrased and Translated Text:
Following their difficult loss to FC Barcelona in the El Clásico match, Real Madrid has responded fiercely through its own media channel, Real Madrid TV. The broadcaster has unleashed a strong criticism against the league, referees, and what they allege is «manipulation» of television broadcasts. The club suggests that their defeat is not due to a lack of performance but rather to a corrupt system designed to hinder their success.
A key moment that apparently triggered this strong reaction was an incident in the 55th minute. Eric García’s challenge on Jude Bellingham within the penalty area was not penalized, which RMTV experts deemed a major scandal. They argued that the foul deserved not only a penalty kick but also a red card for García, stating that his action was clearly intentional.
The criticism of the referee, Alejandro Hernandez, was just the beginning. The primary focus of their anger was the Video Assistant Referee’s (VAR) failure to intervene. They cited this as further evidence of VAR’s «inactivity» in correcting potential injustices. The channel suggested that if such an incident is dismissed as a normal play, then «anything can be a play,» and asserted that any experienced footballer would recognize García’s challenge as deliberate.
The broadcast on Real Madrid TV became increasingly extreme, bordering on conspiracy theories. They accused the VAR system of deliberately working against Real Madrid, claiming it only intervenes in situations that would disadvantage the club. They alleged that the VAR deliberately chooses not to act when it would benefit Real Madrid.
Furthermore, RMTV accused the TV production crew of actively censoring crucial moments. They claimed that significant events, such as a potential red card for Barcelona’s Dani Olmo, were intentionally omitted from replays. The channel expressed frustration that viewers were being deprived of seeing what actually happened, suggesting that other unshown incidents were also being deliberately hidden.
The ultimate criticism was directed at LaLiga’s leadership and its president, Javier Tebas. Real Madrid perceives themselves as victims of a media narrative allegedly controlled by questionable entities. The channel declared, «The Spanish League is not serious. The Spanish League, run by Tebas, by Negreira. It’s a circus and a joke. It’s terrible. What a shame, this transmission of the Spanish League.» They specifically pointed to the company HBS and its connection with Mediapro as being responsible for «manipulating the broadcast,» accusing directors of following a specific «editorial line» designed to systematically disadvantage Real Madrid.
