Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias, who officiated the Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid derby, confirmed that referees are considered "easy targets" to be blamed for losses, especially after the influence of the Negreira case, which led to increased violence and pressure on referees in Spanish stadiums. He explained that refereeing decisions might sometimes be incorrect, but emphasized that referees apply the rules in a manner similar to judges, and blaming them entirely is unfair. He believed that the Negreira controversy has tarnished the reputation of refereeing and led to rising violence against referees, calling for not holding all referees responsible for the actions of others. He expressed hope that those responsible for violations would be held accountable if proven legally. The recent derby witnessed widespread debate over the referee’s decisions, particularly Kang En Lee’s intervention on Vlfredi and the failure to issue a red card, which drew criticism from Real Madrid.
