In recent weeks, there has been much speculation about the decision made by the Spanish football authorities regarding the referee for the Catalan derby between FC Barcelona and Espanyol, known as La Liga. The decision was taken after the referee had not been able to make contact with the players on the pitch due to technical issues.

According to sources close to the matter, the decision was made following a meeting between the Spanish Football Federation (Federación Española de Fútbol) and the Catalan authorities. The officials believed that the referee's communication with the players was inadequate and needed to be improved.

It is important to note that the decision has already caused controversy among fans and supporters of both teams. Some have accused the Spanish authorities of being biased towards FC Barcelona and others have called for an investigation into the situation.

However, it is worth noting that the decision has also raised questions about the fairness of the game and the integrity of the referees involved. It remains to be seen how this will affect the outcome of future matches and whether or not the Spanish authorities will consider making changes to their approach to refereeing decisions in the future.
