Real Madrid TV calls out match referee before crucial Celta Vigo clash | OneFootball

Real Madrid TV has once again demonstrated its commitment to transparency and justice in Spanish football by continuing its referee analysis videos — this time ahead of the crucial La Liga clash against Celta Vigo.

Despite criticism from rival sectors and controversy surrounding past content, the club’s media outlet remains firm in its stance, putting the spotlight on referees appointed to key matches involving Los Blancos.

This week, Real Madrid TV has focused its attention on Jesus Gil Manzano, who will referee the fixture, and Hernandez Maeso, who will oversee VAR.

The channel has taken a detailed look at both officials’ track records, highlighting what it believes to be a consistent pattern of decisions that have disadvantaged Real Madrid.

Gil Manzano under scrutiny

The main referee for the upcoming game, Gil Manzano, has found himself at the centre of Real Madrid TV’s latest critique.

The broadcaster revisited the controversial incident in Valencia, where a goal by Jude Bellingham was disallowed under contentious circumstances.

Real Madrid TV also referenced several other fixtures involving Gil Manzano that, in their view, involved unfavourable calls against the club.

“This is Jesus Gil Manzano, the referee at the centre of the biggest refereeing scandal of recent times,” stated the video, underlining the gravity with which Madrid perceive these repeated officiating inconsistencies.

VAR official also under the lens

In a separate video, the club’s channel analysed Hernandez Maeso’s performances when involved in Real Madrid matches — particularly in the VAR booth.

The video highlights multiple matches in which Maeso allegedly failed to award penalties to Madrid, disallowed valid goals, or neglected to issue red cards to opponents for clear infractions.

The message is clear: Real Madrid expect the highest level of professionalism and accountability from match officials.

While some have criticised Real Madrid’s firm stance, it is essential to recognise that the club is not pushing an agenda but defending the sporting integrity that fans, players, and coaches deserve.

In a league where officiating decisions can decide titles, Champions League places, or even relegation, Real Madrid is simply asking for fair treatment — something every club should strive for.
