Since the match between Osasuna and Real Madrid that was played over the weekend, the referee has been in the spotlight. Jose Luis Munuera Montera.

The referee in this match showed a red card to Jude Bellingham due to an objection and thus incurred the wrath of Real Madrid fans. Montera also had to turn off comments on social networks where he received threats against his life.

Fans were particularly angered by the information that he is a co-owner of the company "Talentus Sports Sepakers", which provides consulting services in the field of sports and works with several sports organizations. Because of all this, La Liga has opened an investigation against him due to suspicion of a potential conflict of interest.

Montero has now gone public and admitted that he has not left his home these days due to threats and attacks.

"I'm locked up at home all day, it's very difficult. The whole situation is becoming too much for my family, especially my 80-year-old father. My parents are old and they don't deserve this. Things are getting out of control, what is this madness? Is this the kind of football we are creating? I'm doing everything to protect my family, but it's hard, it's not working for me. I won't comment on the refereeing, I'll just say that people shouldn't believe everything they read. We referees are also part of football like coaches and players, we deserve respect. We are human and we all make mistakes, it will be like that until a perfect robot is found. The VAR that the clubs introduced is also wrong, not us," said Montero.
