Is Real Madrid facing injustice against LaLiga officiating ?

Real Madrid and governing football bodies, two parties that rarely it feels like ever get along with each other. With the season a little over halfway, Real Madrid dropped points in their three most recent games, allowing Barcelona the chance to be top in the standings. The decisions from the referees in these games has caused outrage in the Real Madrid board room, so much so that Real Madrid took it among themselves to send a letter to LaLiga to discuss these complaints further. Real Madrid don't feel like these are simple errors or mistakes, the belief is that LaLiga are activity trying to stain Real Madrid's season. Let's look further into their reasoning that LaLiga have been biased in their recent decisions

Espanyol 1-0 Real Madrid

The first instance of Real Madrid noticing "incorrect" decisions that were made on the field. Vini Jr. opened the scoring, but the official decided that Mbappé fouled a Espanyol player during the buildup. Again, Mbappe making a attack, tackled by Carlos Romero. Did Romero at least touch the ball? No, infact it was not even close and Romero's tackle looks to intentionally foul the French foward. Carlos Romero received a yellow for what looks like a tackle with no consideration of winning the ball. Real Madrid takes zero out of the three points

Athletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid

30' minute 0-0, a slight touch from Tchouameni on a Atletico forward gives away a penalty, despite both players not touching the ball in the penalty area. Real Madrid turns furious over this decision, already 1-0 down in one of their biggest derby games. Tchouameni touch was slight and was almost brushed off, until VAR was checked by the offical. While this was the major decisions that sparked complaints, there was a number of errors in this game from the referee such as goal kicks being awarded instead of corners despite looking obvious which player was the last to touch the ball before it went out

Osasuna 1-1 Real Madrid

A big performance needed, just given one point out the possible six in their last two games. Real Madrid opens the scoring with Mbappe and Osasuna scores a penalty after a foul from Camavinga. 1-1 halfway into the game, Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is arguing with the ref, then shown to his suprise .. a straight red card. Speculators have determined that Jude Bellingham said a comment towards the referee that the referee interputed as a insult towards him. This could be down to the obvious language barrier between the two languages. The outrage was still sparked, and Real Madrid cant help but feel that the on field decisions have been biased

Real Madrid Actions against these decisions

Real Madrid have insisted a possible move away from the Spanish League to join a different national league. While this is a slight chance that it will reality, it is definitely achievable. But should Real Madrid really move leagues because of a couple of instances of foul play from referees? Well, it may be deeper than that, as Real Madrid Club President Florentino Perez thinks so. Football fans may remember a couple years back when Florentino Perez initiated football Armagedón with the creation of the Super League, eliminating big teams competing within their own nations. If this league was actually created, LaLiga would have lost teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Athletico Madrid, their crown jewels of spanish football. Florentino Perez has expressed concerns that desire to create the league has sent LaLiga members to scrutinize and manipulate against Real Madrid.
