According to Ass, Real Madrid believes that the doping raids disrupted their preparation rhythm.

Before the preparation for the Champions League in the Middle Week, La Liga suddenly appeared at Real Madrid's training base for doping tests, and the team's training was postponed by an hour. Real Madrid was dissatisfied with this and expressed anger, believing it disrupted the team's training pace. But La Liga denied that they were related, insisting that they had no authority and that these responsibilities belong entirely to the Spanish National Anti-Doping Commission (CELAD), which belongs to the Spanish Supreme Council for Sports (CSD) and the Ministry of Education.

As confirmed that the stimulant surprise inspection was indeed under the responsibility of CELAD and required it to be conducted between September 5 and 20. The committee decided to test this Monday. Although it was a routine inspection, it was relatively rare on the eve of the Champions League. Real Madrid said that there is time for testing all day on Sunday, and there is no need to choose to perform before the Champions League. The club expressed dissatisfaction with the arrangement of testing time, and this incident also caused quite a stir in the locker room.
