All associated with La Liga champions Barcelona have on Sunday expressed concern with the refereeing appointment for the club\u2019s next outing.<\/p>\n
This comes after C\u00e9sar Soto Grado was confirmed as the official set to oversee Monday\u2019s Catalan Derby.<\/p>\n
Barcelona are of course primed to return to action tomorrow evening, when they make the trip to the Estadi Montilivi for a league meeting with Girona.<\/p>\n
The fixture marks a hugely important one for the Blaugrana, who on Saturday found themselves overtaken atop the table by arch rivals Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
As alluded to above, though, on the eve of the matchup, Barca have been given reason to worry.<\/p>\n
As confirmed by the CTA, C\u00e9sar Soto Grado has been selected as the man to oversee proceedings at Montilivi on Monday.<\/p>\n
The reigning Spanish champions have long drawn issue with the standard of Soto Grado\u2019s officiating, amid widespread accusations of bias against Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Such exploits on the part of the referee have given rise to a record of seven wins, six defeats and three draws in the Blaugrana\u2019s last 16 fixtures under his watch.<\/p>\n
