Mateu Lahoz was in the spotlight this weekend, the referee taking charge of the weekend’s big game between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. Mateu has a reputation for being a more lenient referee, and if there was any criticism of him on Saturday it was that he let several players off yellow cards, in particular Arda Turan, Diego Costa and Neymar. Not something we are used to saying about our beloved Spanish officials! (16.01.14)
