He directed the first leg of the 2017 Spanish Super Cup final and its last edition, played in Saudi Arabia
Referee De Burgos Bengoetxea from Bilbao will lead his third Clásico on Sunday: a Barcelona vs. Real Madrid that brings together the two contenders for the LaLiga title at Camp Nou. Of course, it will be the first time he has been in charge of officiating this clash in the league competition.

On the other two occasions, the Basque was in charge of these matches in the Spanish Super Cup. The first was in 2017 with the previous format; only two teams and a final out and back. He settled the first leg, playing at Camp Nou and with a 1-3 result in favor of Real Madrid.
That Clásico was in which Cristiano celebrated his goal by showing the shirt to the stands of the rival team; just like Leo Messi did a few months ago at the Bernabéu. His second and last match between these two teams was in Saudi Arabia this year, where Barcelona won 3-1 against which Ancelotti’s men could do nothing.
