Madrid in uproar as old interview resurfaces before title-deciding clash!
Real Madrid fans are fuming after it was revealed that Alejandro Hernández Hernández — the referee selected for this weekend’s crucial El Clasico — had previously declared himself a Barcelona fan in a past interview. This comes just days before the high-stakes match that could decide the La Liga title.
Madridistas released a four-minute video criticizing past officiating errors by Hernandez in Clasico matches, pointing to bias. The discovery of his past admission — “Of course, it’s Barcelona” — has only intensified the backlash.
Although Spanish FA rules prohibit referees from supporting any La Liga club, the Federation has defended its choice, suggesting Hernandez no longer has active allegiances. Still, the revelation has ignited accusations of hypocrisy, as many point to La Liga president Javier Tebas’ openly pro-Madrid stance.
Fans are divided — with Barca supporters calling Madrid’s protests “mind games” and “desperate tactics,” while Madrid fans see it as another reason for concern about fair officiating.
With the title race hanging by a thread, this El Clasico may now be more than just a battle on the pitch — it’s a storm of politics, perception, and
pressure.
