Fermin Lopez has labelled Real Madrid’s regular referee complaints as “tiresome” ahead of Sunday’s Clasico between the two sides at Camp Nou.

Los Blancos have made a habit of criticizing match officials but Lopez says Barcelona don’t want to get involved in such talk.

> “It doesn’t matter how each team arrives at the match, we are two wonderful teams, and we must focus on our play and pay attention to the details. We hope to win,” he told RTVE

> “We do not get into the controversy about the referees. We are doing things well, winning and transmitting values that represent Barça.

> “We have to go our own way and, if they want to enter into that discourse, it’s good for them to fuel the controversy. The discourse is tiresome, and on the pitch we have to show the level we have.”

Lopez looks set to return to the starting XI for Barcelona on Sunday, particularly after Hansi Flick’s side lost Dani Olmo to injury in midweek against PSG.
