The Catalan David Medié Jiménez is the designated referee for the duel in San Mamés between Athletic and Sevilla this Thursday corresponding to the thirty-fifth day of the League championship and the Andalusians keep a good memory of this referee, since they do not know the defeat in the four occasions in which he has crossed paths with them.
Sevilla and Medié Jiménez have not coincided this season and only once did so in the last league, 18-19, in the victory of the locals over Huesca (2-1) at Sánchez Pizjuán. Also in the Copa del Rey, in December 2018, the Catalan led the first round return against Villanovense at the Sevilla stadium, in which the team then trained by Pablo Machín won by 1-0 that was enough to pass the tie after the 0-0 first leg.
Already in the 17-18 season Medié Jiménez gave justice in two games for Sevilla, another victory against Leganés in Nervión (2-1) and a draw in Riazor against Deportivo de La Coruña (0-0).
Julen Lopetegui's men, immersed in the fight for the Champions League, are still pending the match that closes the thirty-fourth day against Eibar at Sánchez Pizjuán, which takes place this Monday at 22:00.
