Despite the fact that La Liga matchday 7 has yet to be played, all eyes are already on next Sunday at the Civitas Metropolitano, where Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will face each other in the first Madrid derby of the season.
A duel where tension and controversy are almost guaranteed and for which the referee has already been announced. According to ‘Relevo’, Mateo Busquets Ferrer will be in charge of the match next Sunday.
The Balearic referee is facing his first big match since he has been refereeing in La Liga. This year he has already refereed 4 matches, one of them against Real Madrid. It was the 1-1 draw against Las Palmas, in a match where, despite there not being much controversy, ‘Real Madrid TV’ pointed negatively to an uncalled penalty on Mbappe. Last season, the referee also gave a penalty to 'Los Blancos' against Alaves. On the other hand, Atletico have never played with this referee as a main referee.
This same weekend, Busquets Ferrer was in charge of the Villarreal-Barcelona game. A match in which up to 3 Villarreal goals were disallowed for offside and he had to use the VAR to award a penalty by Bailly on Lamine.
