An unprecedentedly tense atmosphere reigns at Real Madrid on the eve of the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona. What was supposed to be a celebration of Spanish football has turned into a nightmare, with an official boycott, a refereeing scandal, and threats of suspension against Vinicius Jr.

A press conference that causes tensions to explode

It all began Friday morning, when several Spanish referees called a press conference to denounce the repeated attacks by clubs, and particularly Real Madrid, via its official channel, Real Madrid TV. The officials, including Ricardo De Burgos and Gonzalez Fuertes—designated head referee and VAR manager, respectively, for the final—issued threatening warnings:

“We will no longer tolerate constant attacks. The refereeing team will make history in the coming days.”

These comments were deemed unacceptable by the Madrid management, who immediately decided to boycott all official events related to the final : no pre-match press conference, no official photo with Barça, nor a gala dinner with the Spanish Federation (RFEF).

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has demanded “immediate action” from the RFEF, denouncing the club’s clear hostility . The rift between Madrid and Spanish football institutions appears deeper than ever.

Vinicius Jr in turmoil: risk of MONUMENTAL suspension

And as if that weren’t enough, a new bombshell has exploded surrounding Vinicius Jr. The Brazilian winger is currently under official FIFA investigation for violating integrity rules related to football club ownership.
According to the complaint filed by the Brazilian company Tiberis Holding, Vinicius, through entities controlled by his father and his agent, allegedly owns shares in two professional clubs: Athletic Club de Sao Joao del Rei (Brazil) and Alercom (Portuguese second division). This type of involvement is strictly prohibited by the FIFA Code of Ethics.

If the facts are proven, Vinicius Jr risks a suspension of up to two years , which would deprive Real Madrid and the Brazilian Seleção of one of their major talents.

A plot against Real Madrid?

In the corridors of the Santiago Bernabéu, the feeling of a conspiracy against the club is growing. Between refereeing controversies (the recent “Vargate”), public threats from referees, and now the “Vinigate” affair, fans see a coordinated offensive aimed at destabilizing Real Madrid in the final stretch of major competitions.

There are also rumors that other Real Madrid stars , such as Luka Modric or Kylian Mbappé (who recently arrived this summer), could soon be targeted by similar investigations.

🔥 The atmosphere promises to be incandescent before this highly anticipated final.
Will Real Madrid buckle under the pressure or will they turn this adversity into a historic victory against Barça?
👉 The answer will be in a few hours, but one thing is certain: Spanish football has never known such chaos…
