Real travels to Celta Vigo on Saturday at 9 p.m. for the tenth day of La Liga. The referee for the match has been appointed and his name will not only bring back good memories to the Madrilenians.
After an eventful international break, notably with the Kylian Mbappé affair in Sweden, Real Madrid is back in business in La Liga where the title race continues between Atlético Madrid, third with 17 points, Casa Blanca, second with 21 points and FC Barcelona, first with 24 points.
Celta Vigo is an opponent who is doing wonderfully for Real Madrid since the Madrilenians have not lost at the Balaídos Stadium in Vigo since May 11, 2014 (2-0 defeat during the 37th day of La Liga). Since then, the Merengue club has faced Celta 11 times at Balaídos for a record of 9 wins and 2 draws.
Furthermore, the man with the whistle who will officiate during this meeting has been designated by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and it will be Alejandro Hernández Hernández, accompanied by Guillermo Cuadra Fernández at the VAR. The appointment of this referee will not necessarily delight Real Madrid who even made a video dedicated to the latter on Real Madrid TV to show his controversial refereeing decisions to the detriment of Casa Blanca.
In addition, Luka Modric criticized the referee in question who officiated during the match between Poland and Croatia (3-3) with a red card given to the Croatians: “I know him from the Spanish League, I am used to its arbitration”.
Hernández Hernández (41) officiated 31 Real Madrid matches in La Liga, with a record of 17 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats for the Madrilenians. The last time he managed a Real Madrid match was on matchday 37 of last season’s La Liga in a spectacular Villarreal-Real Madrid affair which ended 4-4.
He also refereed 23 Celta Vigo matches in La Liga with a record of 9 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats for the Galician team. The last Celta match he refereed dates back to March 2024 with a goalless draw for the Galicians at home against Rayo Vallecano.
