Real Madrid and Barcelona meet at the Alfredo Di Stefano on Saturday night

Mateu Lahoz, who was due to referee the Clasico on Saturday at Valdebebas, has had to be replaced after getting injured this week.

Lahoz, who took charge of Bayern Munich's 3-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek, will be replaced by Gil Manzano.

"The refereeing committee has changed the referee for the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona due to a muscle injury obtained by Antonio Mateu Lahoz," the RFEF confirmed on Friday.

Gil Manzano last took charge of a Barça game in January, when they were beaten 3-2 by Athletic Club in the Spanish Supercopa final.

He sent Lionel Messi off at the end of that game, becoming the first official to have sent off Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.
