In Madrid they are already pressuring the referee of Real Madrid vs Eibar
Alvarez Izquierdo being allocated to the match has annoyed madridismo
The Catalan referee is a worry for people in and around Los Blancos
Alfonso Javier Alvarez Izquierdo has been chosen as the referee for Real Madrid vs Eibar at the Santiago Bernabeu. A designation that Madridismo has not taken kindly to.
Bernd Schuster, while Real Madrid coach in 2007, used the referee's background against him. Sevilla beat Madrid 2-0 and when asked about the referee he replied: "Where's he from?" "Catalan?" "That's all we need to know."
Izquierdo was also criticised in 2008 when he refereed a game between Athletic and Real Madrid. He also sent off Varane and Di Maria before.
However Madrid have won 12 of the 15 games he has refereed them in, and lost three.
