What happened. Real Madrid TV issued a forceful video response to Atlético de Madrid on 22 September, according to Diario AS, answering an Atlético tweet and Diego Simeone's post-derby comments. The video argues Atlético's calls for respect toward officials have not been applied consistently, using archive footage and old posts.

• It recalls Simeone's claim the league was 'dangerously prepared for Madrid'.
• It cites a Gil Marín statement about a decade-long refereeing dynamic.
• It notes Manzano, a former Atlético coach, now designates match officials.

The exchange escalates the public back-and-forth after the derby, with no direct reply yet from Atlético or Simeone.
