Real Madrid has officially severed its relationship with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), citing issues with officiating in domestic competitions as the primary reason. The decision follows a controversial non-penalty call on Kylian Mbappe during a recent match against Girona, which ended in a 1-1 draw. This result marked Real Madrid's third consecutive game without a victory, raising concerns about their performance as they trail behind rivals Barcelona in the league standings. Previously, under RFEF President Rafael Louzan, there were attempts to improve relations through meetings with Real Madrid's General Manager, Jose Angel Sanchez. However, these efforts have not yielded a resolution, and Real Madrid remains firm in its belief that La Liga is 'adulterated'. The club has expressed a desire for minimal involvement with the RFEF until there are comprehensive reforms in the refereeing system.
