New 'blow' from Atlético to Real Madrid over their 'war' against referees

Atlético de Madrid categorically denied any connection with the company Talentus Sports Speakers SL., with which Real Madrid accused Munuera Montero of a possible conflict of interest in LaLiga. Through a statement, the 'colchonero' team asserted that "the information that has been published does not reflect reality at all". 

In this regard, Atlético's Compliance Department issued a strong 'blow' to the 'White House', arguing that "these types of harassment campaigns severely damage the image of our football and must not go unpunished. #StopRefereeHarassmentNow", the statement shared by the 'rojiblancos' on their social media pointed out. Both clubs may face each other in the round of 16 of the Champions League, a tie that will surely heighten the tension in the Madrid derby.

Atlético's social media strikes again against Real Madrid

Additionally, Atlético's 'X' account did the rest of the work with another 'jab' at the 'merengue' team. The club published an ironic message requesting the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) for a consultation related to the controversy associated with Munuera Montero. "We want to avoid the anglicism 'fake news' and have thought about qualifying it with the word 'bulo', but we see that your dictionary has several synonyms: Lie; Deception; Fabrication; Falsehood; Hoax; Ball.  Which one do you recommend we use? Thank you very much.".

The post surpassed one million views and 20,000 'likes', on a Thursday where the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) also denied the alleged connection of the company Talentus Sports Speakers SL. with the world of sports. Thus, the Andalusian referee avoids a sanction or suspension in LaLiga and the Copa del Rey, as well as in UEFA competitions.
