Mateu Lahoz will whistle again at Barça after his 'neverazo' for the derby against Espanyol

The FC Barcelona will receive next Monday to the Girona in the Spotify Camp Nou by the day 28 of LaLiga. It will do it under the tutela of the referee designated Antonio Jesus Mateu Lahoz, the one who does not have them pitado from the rugged derbi in front of the Espanyol the past 31 December. In that occasion did not shiver him the pulse to show a total of 16 yellow cards and 2 red that derived in a bitter 1-1 for the culés.

In fact, the Valencian beat his own record of cards in League (12) and did not have brake any after sanctioning the doubtful penalti of Marcos Alonso to Joselu the 70' minutes of the meeting. In total 11 cards of the 18 that showed were from the 74' of party, being nine of them for the Barça by reason of protest including the one who received Xavi Hernández from the bench.

Lahoz Does not like in Can Barça

Historically Lahoz is one of the referees that less simpatizan in the Catalan changing room, further of the goal that cancelled in the last day of LaLiga 2013/14 that could mean a title more for the vitrinas of the Spotify Camp Nou. In what it goes of season only has directed to the Barcelona in the meeting in front of the Seville in the Sánchez-Pizjuan that finished with a 0-3 in favour of the blaugranas and in the respective derbi that cost him 'a fridge' by part of the Technical Committee of Referees.

Along his career has pitado in 48 opportunities to the Barça, leaving a balance of 32 victories, 10 ties and 6 defeats. The last fall culé with the referee produced in 2021, precisely in the 1-0 in front of the Ray Vallecano that sentenced the continuity of Ronald Koeman to charge of the staff. It will be necessary to see what occurs in front of the Girona, to the one who only has directed in three occasions delivered between League and Glass.
