Real Madrid caught up in Clasico corruption row

Spanish police are investigating claims an assistant referee has had pressure put on him to give decisions in favour of Real Madrid in the upcoming Clasico against Barcelona on November 21.

The six-page long document details how an official, who wants to remain unnamed for professional reasons, was asked to make calls which would benefit Madrid in Spanish football’s showpiece next month.
It suggests the Referee’s Committee preferred the assistant referee to give the decisions because in a game earlier this season some favourable decisions from another referee generated too much controversy.
