Andalusian official David Fernández Borbalán is the man charged with overseeing the Real Madrid vs Barcelona game.

It is the third time that Mr Fernández Borbalán will officiate a 'Clásico', having notably been the man in the middle back in August 2011 as the Catalan giants overcame their arch-rivals 3-2 in the return leg of the Spanish Super Cup.

A fixture which will be remembered for former 'Los Blancos' boss José Mourinho's attack on the then Barcelona assistant, Tito Vilanova, and which saw Fernández Borbalán dish out seven yellow cards, not to mention three reds.

Four months on, on 10th December 2011, the 42-year-old was again chosen as the referee of a Real Madrid vs Barcelona clash. This time round it was a league game at the Santiago Bernabéu, which the 'Blaugranas' won 3-1.
