Two new rooky referees this season, Martínez Munuera and Prieto Iglesias replacing Pérez Lasa, who is retiring, and Paradas Romero, who has decided to call it a day after falling out with the refereeing authorities. Martínez was in charge of the opening game of the new campaign between Real Sociedad and Getafe, and Prieto will probably get his chance next weekend. A quiet start to the season though, with no red cards at all in the ten matches. Clos Gómez is the first leader in our rankings after dishing out nine bookings in the game between Sevilla and Atlético Madrid, a fixture which always seems to produce a few fireworks. (22.08.13)
