Jesús Gil Manzano is, by far, the best referee in the League if you need to harm Barça. His statistics have broken all records and his decisions, always controversial and against the culé team, have led to some of the most scandalous and regrettable moments in Spanish football.
In Mallorca he will direct his 32nd match against Barça in the league championship, being the referee with whom he has obtained the worst results. With Gil Manzano he has won only 19 games, tied 6 and lost 7. In total, in almost a 40% of the matches (13 of the 32) the Barcelona team did not achieve victory. A clearly disproportionate percentage for a team like Barcelona. In addition, he showed 80 yellow cards, 6 red cards and awarded 4 penalties.
But if we focus on the data with Barcelona as a visitor, the concern increases exponentially. Of the 32 games coached by Gil Manzano, 15 were away and… In 70% of them he failed to win! 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses.
The most regrettable record in Spanish football
The Extremaduran referee has the dubious honor of having sent off Lewandowski and Messi, Suárez and Neymarthe entire historic MSN of FC Barcelona. The Polish forward suffered the only expulsion in his entire Barça career in Pamplona. In addition, he was sanctioned for 3 games in one of the most controversial and embarrassing plays that have been seen due to the famous gesture of the player putting his finger to his nose.
And the expulsion of Messi? Leo saw the only red card of his career with Gil Manzano in a Barça-Athletic match corresponding to the Super Cup. And to top off the absurdity, Neymar and Suárez were also sent off with controversy by the Extremaduran referee.
The culés will also remember him for being the referee who He sent off Gerard Piqué in his last game as a professionalin which the Barça player described him as “the referee who has screwed us up the most” and told him “it’s a fucking shame, I’ll shit on your fucking mother!”
Now, FC Barcelona will meet this ‘referee’ again in a match where it is mandatory to add three points to remain at the top of the league. classification and end the bad streak of results.
