There is an unwritten norm in the Spanish arbitration by which an international collegiate who is in his last year active and has not had the opportunity to whistle a cup final, do it and thus put a brilliantly end to his career. … In fact, the current three chiefs of the CTA, Medina Cantalejo, Undiano Mallenco and Clos Gómez They retired at the time by whistling a Cup final. This was going to be the case of Soto Grade, Abulense Trencilla affiliated with the Rioja Committee. Medina let him know in mid -February that he would be the referee in La Cartuja this Saturday, April 26, but will finally be Burgos Bengoetxea.
The promise made by the president of the CTA to Soto grade has been breached by the Andalusian leader. Medina has felt betrayed by a movement that has made Soto grade in recent weeks and has not blown into retaliation. Leonese Castilian schoolgirl has postulated in favor of Fernández Borbalán, The dolphin that wants to place Velasco Carballo at the head of the CTA, as this newspaper already revealed more than two months ago. A decision that Cantalejo has avenged the change in the arbitration designation of the Cup final.
It is a case similar to Mateu Lahoz in 2023, the year of Valencian withdrawal. He Exceptor He did not want to move from the pitch to the VAR, as the rest of his retired colleagues have done since the arrival of the video bargain, and Medina charged it by removing the final disputed that year by Real Madrid and Osasuna. Now, he has done it again.
Unlike the arbitration designations for league matches, in which in addition to Medina, they also have a voice and vote Daudén Ibáñez and Puentes Leira, for the Cup is CANTALEJO The one with the first and the last word, and its road map has been drawn with squad and bell. When he confirmed to Soto Grade that he would be the referee of the final, after the Madrid-Atlantic Derbi of the League on February 8, he did not whistle again to any of the four semifinalists and, once the finalists were known, and that an Atlético duel was arbitrated. It was April 6, in Pizjuán.
After that arbitration, Soto grade did not have Martínez Munuera For the birth of his son, he put Medina Cantalejo in a tray the fulmination of the Abulense collegiate. He gave the Alavés-Madrid on April 13, who was assigned to Martínez Munuera, and there he finished cavar soto his grave when he eating ‘the red to Mbappé, expulsion of which he had to alert the VAR.
Medina had already decided not to give him the Copa final, because otherwise he would not have exposed to whistling one of the two finalists just two weeks after going to The Cartuja. And after that serious mistake, with less reason. In fact, Soto Grade is in the fridge since that party.
In addition to changing Soto Grade by Burgos, Medina has also spun finely in the rest of the final arbitration team. The boss of Cta He wanted to content the possible territorial maxims making a very varied arbitration team. The fourth will be Busquets Ferrer (Balearic Committee) and the VAR will be González Fuertes (Asturian Committee), which is retired this year. The fifth will be Rodríguez Moreno (Manchego Castellano Committee), and the Avar will be Hernández Maeso (Extremadura Committee) and Prieto López de Cerain (Navarro Committee): «To continue in office, Medina is tried to win all the territorials that clubs can already. It is the desperate measure that you have left, ”they tell ABC from within the CTA.
The designation of From Burgos It is not just the last episode of the war of power that has been lived within the arbitration estate for months, it is also the match that sets the Cup final for Real Madrid. The Basque Collegiate is one of the most pointed out by the White Club and his fans. He has been 25 times to Madrid, the last on January 9 in Yeda, in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup before the Majorcawith a balance of 16 wins, 5 losses and 4 draws. Almost 40% of the matches that heads to Madrid are not won by the white team, and in the retina that expulsion to Cristiano in the 2017 Spanish Super Cup for a little push from the Portuguese to the collegiate himself who later cost him five penalty games. The Cup final begins with a betrayal and arbitration fire.
