Luis Rubiales, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confessed in January 2020 in several intimate messages to one of his relatives that he wanted Sevilla to lose a league match against Real Madrid. In addition, he came to confess which were the teams that he liked the worst or that produced the most rejection along with Sevilla, according to what the El Confidencial portal reveals today.
It all happened during a match between Real Madrid and Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2020. The president of the federation was in permanent contact with a relative to whom he confessed his wishes. "Let's see if we brush these basins," wrote the top soccer leader in Spain, referring to the Andalusian team in derogatory terms. Sevilla FC finally lost 2-1.
Rubiales did not stop there and even said which were the teams that fell the worst. “Sevilla is the second team that I like the worst of all. In this order, Villarreal, Seville and Valencia ”, he came to affirm.
In that Madrid-Sevilla, which ended 2-1 in favor of the whites, there was a very controversial goal disallowed by Luuk de Jong that would have meant the draw for the Sevilla team. Rubiales, in reference to Pepe Castro, president of Sevilla, even said: "They will be fining me because of the VAR," he concludes.
