The Basque referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea will referee the early match of matchday 19 of LaLiga EA Sports between FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid at the Spotify Camp Nou (9:00 p.m.).
De Burgos Bengoetxea will have Iker De Francisco and Asier Pérez De Mendiola as assistants, while the fourth referee will be Antonio Sánchez and, on the VAR, there will be the Asturian Pablo González Fuertes with the Galician Javier Iglesias Villanueva as AVAR.
It will be the fourth time that De Burgos Bengoetxea calls a match between FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. The first time was in the first leg of the 2016/17 Copa del Rey semi-final, with a 1-2 for the Blaugranas in Madrid.
Much more recent are the second and third times in which he whistled both teams, with a 1-2 in Barcelona in the duel on matchday 18 of the 2024/25 League and, the last, Barça’s 2-4 victory away from home in the second leg of the last league edition.
