Real Madrid's Referee Record: Good With One, Bad With Another
18 Oct
Summary
- Mateo Busquets Ferrer, 32, is Spain's youngest top-flight referee.
- Real Madrid has not lost a match officiated by Busquets Ferrer.
- Guillermo Fernandez's past calls have caused controversy for Real Madrid.
Mateo Busquets Ferrer, aged 32, will officiate Real Madrid's upcoming match against Sevilla. He holds the distinction of being Spain's youngest referee in the top flight and is regarded as a promising official. This season, Busquets Ferrer previously oversaw Real Madrid's 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad.
Real Madrid has a perfect record in the six matches Busquets Ferrer has overseen, with no defeats and two draws against Atletico Madrid and Las Palmas. Sevilla, on the other hand, has a less favorable history with the referee, having won eight and lost three of their eleven encounters.
Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez will be in the VAR room. The Madrid-born official is considered controversial, with Real Madrid securing only 11 wins in the 21 matches he has officiated, alongside five draws and five losses. His past decisions, particularly those affecting Atletico Madrid and a disputed handball call against Vinicius Junior, have drawn significant criticism.
