Real Madrid already knows the referee for the upcoming classic against Atlético. De Burgos Bengoetxea will be in charge of officiating the match. His history with the white team has caused controversy.

Real Madrid has only won 2 of the last 5 matches with this referee in charge. The refereeing decisions in these matches have been a topic of debate.

Real Madrid TV has recalled some of his most controversial mistakes against the team.

Vinícius's Expulsion at Mestalla

De Burgos Bengoetxea was the referee who expelled Vinícius Jr at Mestalla. It happened after the Brazilian suffered racist insults and an assault by an opponent.

The club considers this expulsion an injustice. Moreover, he is a referee from the trusted circle of Medina Cantalejo and Clos Gómez, according to the Madrid media.

The referee has overlooked clear actions in key Real Madrid matches:

  1. He didn't call a penalty by Jesús Navas on Vinícius last season.
  2. He ignored a foul in the area in a Getafe-Real Madrid match.
  3. He didn't expel Ronald Araújo after a harsh tackle on Vinícius.
  4. He also didn't show a red card to Gavi after an assault on Dani Ceballos.

Controversies in the Getafe-Real Madrid Match

Last season, he officiated the Getafe-Real Madrid match and left several actions unpunished:

  1. He didn't call a clear penalty by Carmona on Vinícius.
  2. He ignored another penalty on Brahim Díaz in the final minutes.
  3. He didn't expel Luis Milla after a studs-up challenge on Joselu.
  4. He overlooked a stomp by Djené on Tchouaméni.

Errors in the Sevilla-Real Madrid Match

In the Sevilla-Real Madrid match, he disallowed a goal by Valverde for an offside by Bellingham. However, a video from the stands showed he was onside.

He also invalidated a goal by Bellingham in a play where he stopped the match without justification.

In that match, the previously mentioned penalty by Navas on Vinícius occurred.

A Controversial Clásico

In Camp Nou Clásico two seasons ago, he forgave two expulsions and disallowed a goal for Madrid for a non-existent offside.

The match ended with a goal by Kessié, which should have been disallowed because Lewandowski committed a foul in the previous action.

De Burgos Bengoetxea has been involved in several controversial officiating decisions that have harmed Real Madrid.

Now, he will officiate a key classic for LaLiga. The appointment has not gone unnoticed.
