Alberola Rojas to referee Espanyol-Atleti: An official with mixed luck for both
The Technical Committee of Referees has appointed Javier Alberola Rojas to officiate the match between Espanyol and At. Madrid, corresponding to matchday 29 of LaLiga EA Sports. This designation generates expectation, especially after the controversial VAR performance in Espanyol’s last match.
Alberola Rojas has already officiated Espanyol once this season, in a match against Real Sociedad that ended in defeat for the Catalans. In total, he has refereed eleven Espanyol matches in the league, with a record of four wins, three draws and four defeats.
On the other hand, Alberola Rojas has also refereed Atleti once this season, at the Metropolitano, in a match against Sevilla that ended in victory for the Colchoneros. His record with Atleti in Primera División is quite positive, with nine wins, three draws and only one defeat in thirteen matches. Without a doubt, Atlético fans are confident that the favorable balance will continue in this important match against Espanyol.
