🚨 REAL MADRID RESPONDS: “We Never Considered Withdrawing” – Club Blasts Referee Comments Before Copa del Rey Final
Real Madrid have officially shut down swirling rumors suggesting they were planning to pull out of tomorrow’s Copa del Rey final clash against Barcelona at La Cartuja, Seville.
In a sharply worded statement, the club clarified:
> “Our team has never contemplated renouncing the final.”
This comes after explosive comments from referees assigned to the game surfaced just 24 hours before kickoff. Madrid labeled the remarks “unfortunate and inappropriate,” asserting they risk overshadowing a match watched by hundreds of millions worldwide.
Madrid’s leadership further emphasized respect for traveling fans and reaffirmed their commitment to the values of the sport:
> “The values of football must prevail, despite the hostility and animosity directed at our club.”
Barcelona fans, players, and president Joan Laporta see this as an attempted mind game. Laporta rallied supporters earlier today, urging unity and support for the team.
Tensions are boiling ahead of a fiery El Clásico final — with controversy, mind games, and monumental stakes setting the stage for an unfo
rgettable showdown.
