Referee from Barcelona’s defeat to Real Sociedad could be punished

_1_

Referee Jesús Gil Manzano could be in line for an upcoming disciplinary measure on the part of La Liga.

This comes as a result of his performance in last weekend’s meeting between Real Sociedad and Barcelona.

Hansi Flick’s reigning Spanish champions of course made the trip to Anoeta last Sunday, for a league clash.

When all was said and done, the Blaugrana were condemned to a surprise 2-1 defeat, in an outing packed with drama and controversy.

And along the way, the aforementioned Gil Manzano, tasked with overseeing the matchup, produced a display which evidently did not sit well with those in charge of Spanish football.

As per a report from **[Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20260123/1002606797/jesus-gil-manzano-nevera-arbitraje-anoeta.html)**, the official could be in line for an upcoming ‘rest’, for the final round of La Liga fixtures in January.

This would serve as a form of punishment, for ‘not meeting the expected standard’ of the refereeing leadership.
