Xavier Estrada Fernández, former Spanish referee, has not hesitated to express how complicated it is for judges to give justice when it comes to matches involving the three big clubs in Spain, that is, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The excolegiado Spanish, Xavier Estrada Fernández, took advantage of his participation in the program 'The Desmarque Midday' of the past Friday to share his perspective on the challenges that confronts his guild in the correct development of his functions, especially when it touches them arbitrate parties that involve to the big combined of Spain, like the FC Barcelona, the Real Madrid and the Athletic of Madrid.

If you make a mistake, the Committee sanctions you as it did with Munuera Montero in the last party, that came to have never".

Estrada Fernández and his anecdote with the Real Madrid

Even, Xavier Estrada Fernández shared a personal experience to back his point of view, emphasizing: "it Is more, you do not arbitrate more to the big.

You know that there is repercussion mediática and that you have to hilar very fine to the hour to take a decision".

It is important to stand out that the expulsion of 'CR7' in that moment was properly justified. In that duel between the merengues and the Almería in 2009, the Portuguese received two cautions: The first yellow card was showed in the 84', after the luso removed the T-shirt when celebrating the so much that put the marker 4-2 in favour of the Real Madrid.
