Real Madrid and Referees During the Five European Cups Era
1 min Machine translated Filmed in Spain Sports
In those days of the five European Cups, referees were given watches and invited out to eat. Real Madrid would meet the referees at, at Barajas and accompany them to the hotel.
And denying it is foolish, because there are, naturally, testimonies everywhere. Did they sometimes favor Real Madrid?
Well, I’m not going to say they didn’t. Bernabéu said there were two kinds of referees: those who made mistakes in favor of Real Madrid, whom he liked very much, and those who made mistakes in favor of the opposition, whom he found utterly irritating.
Now the match is over, as you can— you can see how the referee is being protected so he can get into the locker room.
There is Mr. García de Losa. After that famous match that Barcelona won At the Bernabéu, zero-two, and then I spent five years without setting foot in it, the Bernabéu.
Mr. Plaza, on more than one occasion, when I refereed Real Madrid, he called me at home, um, to tell me, "Well, um, we trust you, we gave you this match."

Original transcript (Spanish)
En esa época de las cinco Copas de Europa, a los árbitros se les regalaba relojes y se les invitaba a comer. Real Madrid recibía a los árbitros en el, en Barajas y los acompañaba al hotel.
Y negarlo es una estupidez, porque hay, naturalmente, testimonios por todas partes. ¿Que favorecían a veces al Real Madrid?
Pues yo no te voy a decir que no. Bernabéu decía que había dos clases de árbitros: los que se equivocaban a favor del Real Madrid, los cuales le gustaban mucho, y los que se equivocaban a favor del contrario, los cuales le molestaban muchísimo.
Ahora ha finalizado el partido, como son-- ya están viendo ustedes cómo se protege al árbitro para que entre en los vestuarios.
Ahí está el señor García de Losa. Después de aquel partido célebre que el Barcelona ganó en el Bernabéu cero dos, estuve después cinco años sin pisar el, el Bernabéu.
El señor Plaza, en alguna ocasión, más de una, pues cuando le he arbitrado al Madrid, pues me ha llamado a mi domicilio, a mi esto, para decirme: "Hombre, pues, mmm, tenemos confianza contigo, te hemos dado este partido".
