The FC Barcelona already knows who will be the referee that will direct the first meeting of League Santander 2016-17 against the Real Betis, the next 20 August in the Camp Nou. The elected is not another that Undiano Mallenco, a referee that does not like at all to the barcelonismo, but with which the team of Luis Enrique has a good percentage of victories in the Barcelona stadium.
In fact, in the Camp Nou the FC Barcelona only has lost one of the 18 parties that has arbitrated the referee navarro. It does not be necessary to forget, nevertheless, that Undiano does not fall too well to the Barça from that final of Glass of the King of 2011, won by the Real Madrid with a goal of Cristiano Ronaldo in the extention and another cancelled unfairly to Pedro Rodríguez.
In that party, in addition to cancelling a legal goal to Pedro, Undiano Mallenco allowed the extreme hardness of the players of the Real Madrid along all the party, forgiving the expulsions of Pepe and Arbeloa. In any case, what matter are the general statistics and here seems that the Barça comes off well: in 43 parties directed by Undiano Mallenco, the Barcelona has obtained 26 victories, 12 ties and 4 defeats.
The Real Madrid will play in Anoeta in the first day of League 2016-17, against the Real Sociedad of Eusebio Sacristán, and will do it under the supervision of the referee Martínez Munuera, with which has a balance of five victories, a tie and a defeat.
