In the past, the Spanish football referee Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez made a scandalous statement. According to the referee, almost all of his former colleagues are fans of Madrid's "Real" team. "About 90 percent of referees support the royal club, 10 percent - 'Barcelona'. Whether Catalans like it or not, but 70 percent of Spain, excluding Catalonia, are fans of 'Real'. Now the number of 'Barcelona' fans has grown a bit, as the younger generation saw the victories of the club coached by Pep Guardiola," - explained E. I. Gonzalez to ESPN.
