FC Barcelona<\/strong> hosts Alav\u00e9s<\/strong> this Saturday, November 29 (4:15 PM CEST) for matchday 15 of LaLiga, with Miguel \u00c1ngel Ortiz Arrias<\/strong> officiating. The Madrid-based referee was appointed by the Referees Technical Committee (CTA)<\/a> alongside Jorge Figueroa V\u00e1zquez<\/strong> (VAR).<\/p>

This season, Ortiz Arias has refereed 7 matches, one of them being Bar\u00e7a’s away victory against Real Oviedo (1-3)<\/a>. That day, the Blaugrana team only committed four fouls, with no yellow cards against them. For the home team, only one player was cautioned in a match where the Catalans won with goals from Eric Garc\u00eda, Robert Lewandowski, and Ronald Araujo.<\/p>

In the 25\/26 season, the 41-year-old referee, with experience in LaLiga since 21\/22, has also officiated the Vitoria team on a couple of occasions, with a record of one win (3-3 against Elche in Matchday 8) and one loss on the opening day (1-0 against Betis).<\/p>

How has Bar\u00e7a fared in matches officiated by Ortiz Arias?<\/h2>

In total, Miguel \u00c1ngel Ortiz has refereed 10 matches for the blaugrana team in LaLiga. Last season, the referee from Madrid officiated Bar\u00e7a’s victory against Mallorca (1-0)<\/a> on matchday 33, a game decided by a goal from Dani Olmo in the 46th minute. That day, only one player from the visiting team was cautioned.<\/p>

The Catalan team’s record with Ortiz Arias is positive, with 8 wins, 1 draw, and only 1 loss so far. Bar\u00e7a’s only defeat with the 41-year-old referee occurred on matchday 23 of the 22\/23 season, against Almer\u00eda (1-0)<\/a>. Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez’s team suffered their second defeat of that season due to a goal from El Bilal Tour\u00e9 in the 24th minute.<\/p>

The referee debuted in LaLiga in the 21\/22 season. His first match at the Spotify Camp Nou took place in May 2022, with a Catalan victory against Celta (3-1)<\/a> with goals from Memphis Depay and a brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. <\/p>

Bar\u00e7a’s record in matches officiated by Miguel Ortiz Arias:<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Games Played<\/strong>: 10<\/li> \t
  2. Wins<\/strong>: 8<\/li> \t
  3. Draws<\/strong>: 1<\/li> \t
  4. Losses<\/strong>: 1<\/li> <\/ol>

    Bar\u00e7a goes for its fourth consecutive victory and the LaLiga lead<\/h2>

    On Saturday, Hansi Flick’s team will seek their fourth consecutive victory in the tournament, marking what could be the best Catalan streak in 25\/26. Bar\u00e7a comes from defeating Elche <\/strong>(3-1), Celta <\/strong>(2-4), and Athletic <\/strong>(4-0).<\/p>

    A victory would return them to the top of LaLiga with a 2-point lead over Real Madrid<\/strong>, pending what the ‘merengues’ do on Sunday against Girona (21:00 CEST). There will also be a midweek fixture, for matchday 19 brought forward due to the Spanish Super Cup.<\/p>
