Real wrote a public letter to the RFEF over the state of refereeing this season after defeat at Espanyol last week. The Los Merengues also snubbed a meeting between clubs and the referees' association days later.
Atletico posted to social media this morning: "We want to convey all our support and solidarity to the refereeing team and their families and friends.
"These are very hard days for the football family. Keep your spirits up."
