Sanchez Martinez has refereed four Clasicos before, with Barcelona winning three of them and Madrid winning just one. Barcelona have a 79% winning percentage when Sanchez Martinez has been in charge of their game, with Madrid winning just 56% of their games with said referee.
These games are always full of intensity and Barcelona will be the home team. Real Madrid will need to make sure that they keep their composure if they want to avoid any kind of controversy.
Los Blancos gained momentum with their 0-5 win against Shakhtar but will need to keep their foot on the throttle if they want to score the three points in El Clasico.
