BARCELONA and Real Madrid meet in a blockbuster Copa del Rey final TONIGHT.
Before the match, referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea broke down in tears during a press conference after being asked about a Real Madrid TV video attacking officials.
The video highlighted decisions that had gone against Real, which the club believe to have been incorrect.
Real were not happy to see De Burgos Bengoetxea put in charge of the final, branding the decision ‘unacceptable’ – and reports suggested that Los Blancos wanted the refereeing team changed for the huge clash this evening.
The Spanish giants cancelled media duties and the official training session after the interview, before rubbishing rumours that they would boycott the match.
On the pitch, Kylian Mbappe returns to the bench for Real, while Robert Lewandowski is out with injury for Barca.
