The FC Barcelona-Real Betis of this Saturday will be arbitrated by Undiano Mallenco, a referee with the one who the Barça has a good percentage of victories, but that has left more than some controversy in parties of the Barcelona group

The FC Barcelona will confront in the first meeting of League Santander 2016-17 against the Betis, this Saturday 20 August in the Camp Nou, and the elected to arbitrate the party 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 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 this 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. This defeat was precisely in front of the picture donostiarra in San Sebastián the past campaign.
