Hernández Hernández will officiate his sixth Clásico, having previously refereed Barcelona’s 4-3 victory over Real Madrid in Week 35 last season. His record in these matches currently stands at two wins for Barcelona (last season’s thriller and a 3-2 result in 2016-17), two draws, and one Real Madrid victory (a 2-1 win in 2015-16).
This season, the referee has overseen two Barcelona matches, both resulting in victories for Flick’s side: a 2-1 win against Real Sociedad and a 4-1 rout of Espanyol. For Real Madrid, however, this will be only his second assignment, following their match against Betis at the Bernabéu.
