Hernández Hernández to Officiate El Clásico Between Barcelona and Real Madrid
The Spanish Technical Committee of Referees has appointed Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez to officiate the highly anticipated El Clásico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. This fixture could potentially see the Catalan side officially clinch the Spanish league title. This selection follows Hernandez's recent nomination as Spain's representative referee for the upcoming World Cup finals, further solidifying his international standing ahead of the global event.
On a personal note, this upcoming game marks Hernandez Hernandez's sixth El Clásico appearance as a referee. He holds a balanced record in the five previous encounters he has overseen, which include two victories for Barcelona, two draws, and one win for Real Madrid. Furthermore, the referee has officiated two matches involving the Catalan team this current season, both of which ended in victories for the Blaugrana.
In the context of the Spanish referee's final preparations, his upcoming participation in Miami, USA, on May 31, stands out as he is set to commence his duties for the World Cup. Hernandez will be accompanied in his international assignments by a team comprising assistant referees Diego Sanchez and Jose Naranjo, along with Carlos del Cerro as the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
