Martínez Munuera on the Whistle: A Classic for Atleti
Atlético de Madrid is preparing to host Celta de Vigo at the Metropolitano, in a match that promises strong emotions. The Royal Spanish Football Federation has appointed Juan Martínez Munuera as the referee in charge of directing the match.
A name that is no stranger to the Colchoneros fans, since the Valencian referee has officiated numerous matches of the Rojiblancos team. This season, Martínez Munuera already refereed Atlético on one occasion, on the second day, with a resounding 3-0 win against Girona at the Metropolitano.
In the general history, the balance with this referee is positive, with 21 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in 33 matches directed. Some numbers that invite optimism for the clash against Celta. It will be the fourth time that Martínez Munuera referees an Atlético-Celta match.
In the three previous matches, the results have been varied, with one victory for Atleti, one draw and one defeat. However, the fans are confident that the team, driven by their game and the encouragement of their public, can add a new victory in their favor in this particular history.
Celta also knows this referee well, having been directed by him on 33 occasions, with a slightly less favorable balance. Atlético faces this match with the hope of continuing to add important points in their fight for the season’s objectives. With the unconditional support of the fans, the team will seek to deploy their best game and achieve a victory that reinforces their morale and their position in the table.
