RFEF president expected at Camp Nou with Barcelona one point away from La Liga title
Everything surrounding this weekendâs El Clasico feels bigger than usual.
The title race, the pressure around the referees, the atmosphere at Spotify Camp Nou, and now even the presence of the federation president have combined to turn Barcelona vs Real Madrid CF into one of the most heavily watched matches of the season.
According to reports in AS, it has been learned that Rafael Louzan, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), will be present in the VIP box for the Clasico.
The reason is obvious, as Barcelona could officially become La Liga champions if they manage to beat or even draw against Real Madrid in front of their own supporters.
That possibility alone already guarantees a huge occasion at Camp Nou, but the build-up to the game has become even more tense because of the debate surrounding refereeing in Spain this season.
Who is the referee?
Notably, Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez has been appointed to officiate the Clasico, a decision that has immediately placed extra pressure on both the referee and the VAR team ahead of such an important fixture.
