In the build-up to the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid boycotted the press conference on the eve of the match in protest of match referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea. The controversy broke out after Real Madrid TV accused Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea of partiality by putting out a video of his mistakes in Los Blancos’ matches.
