The referee has been chosen for the clash on Sunday in Madrid
On Monday the refereeing appointments are made and the big game next weekend, Real Madrid v Barcelona, now has its official. Mateu Lahoz has been chosen for the game, which could be key in the title fight. If Barcelona win they would move five points clear of Madrid at the top of the league.
The Valencian ref is often used in the Clasicos, having taken charge of four. Two wins for each side. His first was in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, with Madrid winning 2-1, just as they did in the 2014 Copa del Rey final.
The third saw Barca win 2-1 at Camp Nou in 2014-15, while the most recent was Barca beating Madrid in the Copa del Rey last season.
