The Spanish Football Federation have appointed referee Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez as the man in charge of Saturday’s El Clasico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
This will be the seventh time Sanchez Martinez is in charge of El Clasico, which definitely means that the Spanish Football Federation believe he’s the best referee in Spanish football right now.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have split the previous six games so far, with three wins apiece. Los Blancos are not happy with this designation and have heavily criticized Sanchez Martinez via Real Madrid TV in the past.
Alejandro Muñiz Ruiz will be in charge of the VAR system, which is also a crucial role in today’s football.
This El Clasico will be a crucial game for both teams. Real Madrid have the opportunity to cut Barcelona’s current three-point lead in the table with a win, while Flick’s men will try to extend it to six points.
