Jaime Latre will whistle Real-Espanyol

Santiago Jaime Latre, a 42-year-old member of the Aragonese committee, has been appointed to referee the match that next Monday (Anoeta, 9:00 p.m.) between Real Sociedad and Espanyol in Anoeta. This is a referee with whom the txuri urdin have not had much luck, as evidenced by the statistics: in 21 official matches, seven wins, six draws and eight losses. He has expelled three royalists in these meetings: Barn, Zubeldia and Zaldua. This season, he has only managed one match for the Imanol1-0 against Rayo Vallecano in Anoeta.

César Soto Grado will be in charge of managing the VAR.
