WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Relevo, Madrid are asking their own fans to sing, 'Corruption in the Federation' in the 12th minute of their La Liga clash with Girona on Sunday. This comes amid their ongoing criticism of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and the Referees Committee (CTA) following several refereeing decisions that haven't gone their way.
