The scandal is compounded, Florentino Perez met with the judge before El Classico's departure.

Amid controversy over Sunday's El Classicos trial, it has been found that Real Madrid President Florentino Peres has met Judge Cesar Soto Grado before the match. According to the newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Peres had been in Real Madrid's dressing room before the match against Barcelona, when he left and met with Soto Grado [...]
According to the newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Peres had been in Real Madrid's dressing room before the match against Barcelona, when he left and met with Soto Grado in the tunnel, and he greeted the judge and his assistants.
Peres was accompanied by a match delegate and former Judge Carlos Meggie.
Miguel Angel Perez, the reporting judge of RFEF for El Classico and who withdrew in 2013 never awarded a penalty against Real Madrid in Bernabeu.
This will certainly add anger to Barcelona for the performance of Soto Grado, with club reportedly seeking to take legal action for the ghost goal of Lamine Yamal and President Joan Laporta threatening a replay of the match.
While it is certainly unusual for the presidents to have access to judges or officials before the matches, it would be unusual if Perez had not greeted him as he passed.
In any case, the conclusion of any evil intention on the part of Real Madrid's president seems wrong, even because someone would assume it would be much more delicate about it than doing such a business in the tunnel. /Telegraphy/
