F. C. Barcelona<\/a> to Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Enr\u00edquez Negreira, the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, through various corporate structures.<\/p>\n\u201cReal Madrid emphasizes that these facts constitute, from the perspective of sports disciplinary law, a systemic risk of utmost severity for the integrity of competitions, as they reveal the existence of a structure of undue influence over the refereeing body, incompatible with the essential principles of competitive equality, neutrality, impartiality, and unpredictability of sports outcomes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this context, Real Madrid has urged the immediate resumption of the disciplinary proceedings previously initiated by UEFA, considering it unacceptable that this situation has persisted over time, as its continuation seriously compromises the credibility of football, its institutions, and its leaders. Therefore, the club demands a firm, exemplary, and immediate response in the sporting domain, independently of the ongoing judicial proceedings.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor this reason, our club requests UEFA, in the exercise of its independent and autonomous competence, to adopt the appropriate disciplinary and restorative measures to ensure the integrity, transparency, and proper functioning of competitions. This must not, under any circumstances, replace the role of State judicial bodies or preempt a criminal qualification of the facts. In this regard, Real Madrid, acting as a private prosecutor in the ongoing criminal proceedings, will continue to take the necessary legal actions at each procedural stage, as it has done since the beginning.<\/p>\n
\u201cReal Madrid reaffirms its commitment to defending the essential values of sport and will continue to promote all necessary actions to ensure that incidents of this nature do not go unpunished.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cReal Madrid C.
