Real Madrid announced this Monday in a statement that it has filed a complaint with the Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) against the referee who directed their match against Osasuna, Juan Martínez Munuera, for “the negligent writing of the arbitration report”, in which he assures that he “voluntarily and deliberately omitted” the insults received by the Brazilian Vinícius Junior.
The Madrid team has also filed a complaint with the same federative body in relation to the “mentioned insults and humiliating shouts”, and has forwarded them to the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in the Sports, with the aim of identifying the people who carried them out in El Sadar so that they can be sanctioned.
Real Madrid makes the complaint to the referee Martínez Munuera, regretting “the serious insults uttered, once again, against Vinícius Junior”, on this occasion at the Osasuna stadium. “Our club has filed a complaint with the Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation against the match referee Juan Martínez Munuera, as a consequence of the negligent drafting of the referee’s report,” he says in a letter in which he points out that the referee “he voluntarily and deliberately omitted the insults and humiliating shouts repeatedly directed towards Vinicius, despite being warned insistently by our players at the same moment in which these were occurring.”
“In light of these unfortunate events that occurred in El Sadar, Real Madrid has expanded the complaint that it presented last Friday, March 15, to the State Attorney General’s Office against crimes of hate and discrimination, for the racist and hateful insults directed towards Vinicius in the vicinity of the Olympic stadium in Montjuic and the Metropolitan stadium in Madrid, requesting that the perpetrators of the same be identified.
The team chaired by Florentino Pérez closes its statement by condemning the “violent attacks of racism, discrimination and hatred” that Vinícius is repeatedly suffering, and demands “that the necessary measures be taken, once and for all, in order to eradicate violence.”
