Madrid, outraged with the choice of the referee for the Super Cup final

The FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid will be starring a new edition of the Classical the Sunday 15 January in the frame of the final of the Supercopa of Europe, now in his format of 'final four'. The meeting, that will contest in Riad, Saudi Arabia, will have to Ricardo of Boroughs Bengoechea like main referee, a designation that does not seat him of the all well to the whites after being leading of several controversies.

Like this it has analysed it 'Real Madrid TV', reviewing part of the parties in which they have coincided the merengues and the Basque referee in the field. In fact, already there have been occasions in which Of Boroughs Bengoechea has been the attendant to give justice in editions of the Classical and precisely this has taken place in the frame of the Supercopa of Spain, tournament that will define to his champion in very few hours. His name does not fall very well in the madridismo in front of it permisivo that it has been with some infringements and his controversial decisions, but exists a controversial episode by which is remembered.

The controversial antecedent of Of Boroughs Bengoechea

In that then was not still in force the current format, by what the tournament defined to gone and turn between the champion of LaLiga and the champion of the Glass of Rey (or the runner-up of this last, in case that the monarch suspender belt have signed a doublet). It occurred on 1 August 2017 in the Camp Nou, in the primes of the season 2017/18, in a crash that would close with a victory by 1-3 for the whites.

In spite of the victory madridista that carried them to the title, the party is especially remembered by the episode starred by Of Boroughs Bengoechea and Cristiano Ronaldo, in which the Portuguese finished being expelled by double caution: the first for celebrating one of his goals removing the T-shirt and the second for having simulated a penalti, causing like this his exit anticipated of the commitment.

But the subject would not remain there. Justo before abandoning the field after receiving the red card, the luso would push to the referee, what would involve him a suspension that would extend by five meetings. Now, Of Boroughs Bengoechea goes back to direct a Classical, this time in conditions very distinct, already without the two figures that marked a period, Lionel Messi neither Cristiano Ronaldo, in the crash between Barça and Madrid.
