Mourinho and Real Madrid face a Clásico with maximum referee pressure
El Clásico at the Camp Nou on Sunday at 21:00 arrives with Sevilla upset and arbitration in focus. Mundo Deportivo points to Alberola Rojas.
The Clásico at the Camp Nou is coming on Sunday at 21:00 with refereeing as a top headline. According to Mundo Deportivo, the referee could be Alberola Rojas, with VAR still to be confirmed. The Real Madrid’s setup has met sharp criticism, while Sevilla is openly upset after what it sees as key decisions at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Appointments and recent blows
Tension has been building from recent matches. In the Madrid derby, Real Madrid felt the sending-offs were handled unfairly: it highlights Kang In Lee over a challenge on Valverde and “Cuti” Romero after a foul on Bellingham. On top of that, Vinícius Júnior was sent off for pulling Saliba’s hair and will miss the game after a four-match ban.
Champions week to set the final cast
The build-up is likely to intensify during a Champions midweek: Barcelona travel to PSG, while Real Madrid host RB Leipzig. From Thursday—once availability is confirmed and the referee setup is locked in—the pre-match noise is expected to grow further.
