🚨 NEW REAL MADRID CLUB STATEMENT:
Given the rumors in last few hours, Real Madrid C. F. communicates that our team has never considered giving up playing tomorrow's final.
Our club understands that the unfortunate and inappropriate statements of the referees appointed for this match, made 24 hours before the final, cannot stain a sporting event of global importance that hundreds of millions of people will see and also out of respect for all the fans who plan to travel to Seville, and to all those who are already in the Andalusian capital.
Real Madrid understands that the values of football must prevail, despite the hostility and animosity that have been evident today, once again against our club, by these referees designated for the final.

🗣️ Rafael Louzan (RFEF President): “We met with Real Madrid. It was a friendly meeting, for 40 minutes, the rest remains between us only, but the issue of requesting a change of referees was NOT put on the table by them.”
