I hope that everything is investigated and that the evidence comes to light from the matches of the Real [Madrid] and today’s one. I’ll bet anything guaranteeing that “there has been watering” on the part of someone to see the shameful attitudes of both parties.
Real Madrid will aim to restore pride after a disappointing week when they host already-relegated Real Oviedo at the Santiago Bernabéu on Thursday 14th May 2026 in La Liga matchday 36.
