  1. So far, so good for Mateo Busquets Ferrer in the Madrid derby.

    In technical aspects, the referee from Mallorca fared strongly in an easy-going first half: pretty much always right in foul recognition including not awarding a penalty to Real at 45', the only reckless foul was punished by a deserved YC (40'). The players of both teams are keen though to test the authority of the rookie ref: very blatant kicking the ball away (30') and dissent (36') were both turned a blind eye to by the 30yo official. One can perhaps cast doubt about how much Busquets Ferrer is really in control of the players actions, heading into the second half.

    1. Players sent to the dressing room after Atletico fans repeatedly threw objects.

  2. Any opinions about Busquets Ferrer? I didn't watch a match, but I'm really curious how this too young referee overcome with difficulties in Madrid derby.

    1. While not a flawless performance (see e.g. the late OFR), I think Busquets Ferrer passed CTA-RFEF's internal test. Should definitely be on the pole position for inheriting Soto Grado's badge in 2026.

    2. It was a good night for him. He was helped by the players -- many times there were small contretemps which with a different approach by both teams could have spilled over into big brawls -- but technically speaking about assessing incidents in the game, his performance actually was pretty close to flawless imo. The stoppage of the game also plays into his favour too, appearing calm and in control as he suspended the game and explained everything to both Simeone and Ancelotti. Two VAR interventions in added time: one to correct linesman Adrian Diaz Gonzalez who had flagged Atletico's equaliser offside (Correra was just on), and then an OFR to send off Llorente for a crude SFP tackle which was initially given a YC.

      Most of the points for improving are along the lines of 'being able to assert yourself in a big game' but there is one issue easily corrected - I didn't understand why he stood facing the penalty area from the left side at corners, ie. looking into the box and away from the linesman). It's contrary to the diagonal channel and doesn't make any sense, you can't track the ball as it is centred into the penalty area (one time he had to hurriedly move backwards as the ball was about to hit him) and you don't have a good view of the duels inside the box. Rudiger seemed to be pulled down in one incident, but nobody made a big deal out of it. One fights the century old and still unbeaten 'diagonal control path' at his peril! :)

  3. UYL LP MD2
    Slovan Bratislava (SVK) vs Manchester City (ENG)
    R:I.Demetrescu (ROM)

    11' AR2 wrong flag raisen, signaling player in offside position, but did not touch ball and no other impact on play, R correctly did not stopped play
    34' Slo10 clearly kicked ball away to dellay restart, no reaction
    39' AR1 wrong flag raisen, signaling player in offside position, but did not touch ball and ball clearly go to Slo GK, R correctly did not stopped play
    41' Correct public warning to MnC3, for dellaying restart, carrying ball away and also ask to remove rubber wristband
    43' Correct PK given to MnC for tripping, but wrong YC to Slo6 IMO, no DOGSO or reckless challenge
    45+1' IMO wrong YC not given to Slo9, for reckless charginh/tripping on MnC GK

    1. 52' R correctly ask to retake goal kick, due MnC player was inside penalty area
      65' Correct play on in Slo penalty area IMO
      76' Poor double substitution management from 4O

    2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qyYqBbGujg
      Thanks for this report, here full game.
      11' Agree that it was wrong flag, but I think AR2 realized immediately that by herself, rather than referee overruling.
      34' Not that blatant, but still...
      39' Not a punishable offside.
      41' Good management by referee, but maybe excessive change of body language, could have been more composed.
      43' Correct penalty, I think YC was for reckless, not 100% wrong, but indeed live it looked a full reckless tackle, replay shows a different reality
      45'+1 Possible YC for reckless, but I wouldn't consider this one as big miss, attacker doesn't make any further movement, just a collision with keeper
      52' Good alertness
      65' More YC for simulation than penalty, good NO PENALTY call, maybe YC for simulation would have been better? Definitely a theatrical fall.
      76' Can't know whether FO responsibility or team officials sending wrong information to him.
