🚨Martínez Munuera to referee the Clásico with Iglesias Villanueva on VAR

🚨Martínez Munuera to referee the Clásico with Iglesias Villanueva on VAR The RFEF’s Technical Committee of Referees has appointed Juan Martínez Munuera to referee El Clásico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Javier Iglesias will oversee VAR for the match, which takes place tomorrow, Sunday, at 21:00 on Matchday 10 of LaLiga. Munuera has refereed four Barcelona–Real Madrid matches in his career, with three wins for Real Madrid and one for Barcelona. Real Madrid filed a complaint against Munuera with the Disciplinary Committee in 2024 for failing to include chants of “Vinicius, die” in his match report during a game against Osasuna.  El Clásico rounds off Sunday’s action, which begins at 14:00 with Athletic–Getafe, refereed by Francisco Hernández with Alejandro Muñiz on VAR duty. Celta–Betis kicks off at 16:15, with Isidro Díaz de Mera refereeing and Iván Caparrós overseeing VAR. At 18:30, Real Sociedad host Levante, with Javier Alberola as referee and Guillermo Cuadra in the VAR room. The CTA announced the appointments for all four Sunday matches in a single statement. Martínez and Iglesias therefore take charge of the highest-profile match of the round, with refereeing under scrutiny following Real Madrid’s repeated complaints on the subject.
