Luckily there no controversial refereeing decisions in the last weekend of the season, although things could have been different if Real Madrid had been closer to Barcelona. Undiano Mallenco let Sergio Ramos off a penalty decision for a push on Caicedo with Málaga leading 1-0, and just a minute or two later Van der Vaart equalised. Barcelona won their game against Valladolid though to finish three points clear of their rivals, so the result in Málaga was fairly academic. On Saturday though La Liga said good-bye to Mejuto González, the referee who shot to fame with the famous phrase "Rafa, no me jodas!" after his infamous linesman Rafa Guerrero told him in Zaragoza a few years ago that he should award a penalty to visitors Barcelona and send off a local defender. That's not the end for Mejuto though, he has been rewarded with Wednesday's cup final between Sevilla and Atlético Madrid as a curtain closer. He will have to go a bit though if he is to catch this season's leader for the White Stick award, the country's all time leading card-producer Iturralde González. (18.05.10)

PS. Mejuto bowed out with dignity in the Spanish cup final, and although he had to deal with a bit of argy-bargy later on, he left the field a popular man. A lot of referees would be happy to go the same way!
