Universo FCBarcelona stated that Madrid and its spokespersons were trying to influence the referees before the classic match and that they were creating an unsustainable atmosphere because, as it was written, they were playing their season in that game. It added that the previous year they had celebrated the match as if it were a title and that this year it would be the only thing they could attempt to compete for to calm their fans. It also argued that a significant defeat would make the supporters start to question them and that the criticisms of the referees would soon give way to blame against Mourinho and Florentino. #Madrid #Clásico #Fútbol (translated)

Victor Lessa stated that, in a meeting last Wednesday, the CBF acknowledged what he considered biased refereeing and serious errors by Rafael Klein and VAR Daniel Nobre Bins. According to the journalist, the refereeing committee assessed that Pulgar should have been expelled for rough and violent play, and that Alex Sandro committed a penalty on Savarino, although it considered the VAR's decision to respect the on-field call in that incident to be correct. The committee, Lessa added, understood that there was no penalty by Leo Ortiz on Castillo. Lessa said that Fluminense demanded punishment for the referee, but that the CBF had already assigned him for the weekend, as it schedules appointments more than one round in advance. He questioned whether Klein could still be punished afterward. He also stated that he agreed the VAR should not intervene in interpretative plays when the referee had a clear view, but criticized the lack of criteria, saying that those responsible decided when to intervene. In Lessa's opinion, there was a clear foul by Leo Ortiz on Castillo, at least for dangerous play, and the incident should have been called as a foul even outside the area. #CBF #Arbitragem #Futebol (translated)

Javier Tebas Medrano said that the CSD was studying taking action on its own regarding some of his statements and requested that, before doing so, the complete text be read and precedents reviewed. He explained that he had criticized communication methods that he related to propaganda techniques used by Goebbels, but he had expressly excluded any ideological comparisons and any reference to the Madridista fanbase. As a precedent, Tebas recalled that Florentino Pérez stated on May 12, 2026, that he could have won 14 more leagues and that they had been robbed from him, and that, when talking about the Negreira case, he said that they were still the same referees. According to Tebas, those statements were published on Real Madrid's website and the referees had denounced them. He also noted that AS published on September 21 that the instructor proposed archiving the federal file for considering freedom of expression. Tebas asked what criterion was applied to some statements and not to others, and insisted that, although the channels and responsibilities could be different, institutional coherence should be required. He requested that the criteria be explained and applied independently, and asserted that freedom of expression should not depend on the surname of the speaker. #LibertadDeExpresión #Deportes #CSD (translated)

"It is possible," he concluded. #Fútbol #Árbitros #LaLiga (translated)
