"Rather, it's the fourth official who has changed. Adrián Cordero Vega, originally appointed to the position, has been withdrawn after suffering physical problems during pre-match checks. According to the federation, he was deemed unfit to take part in the closely-watched fixture. Alejandro Quintero González has been named as his replacement. He has some degree of experience in this, having already served as fourth official in Barcelona's Supercopa semifinal against Athletic Club. He was also involved earlier in the competition as a VAR assistant."
"The rest of the team remains unchanged. Íñigo Prieto and Antonio Martínez will run the lines, while Adrián Díaz has been assigned as fifth official. VAR duties will be led by Daniel Trujillo Suárez, joined by David Gálvez Rascón and Víctor García Verdura. Munuera Montero's record with both finalists has resurfaced in the buildup. Barcelona have won 18 of the 28 matches he has refereed, drawing 4 and losing 6."
The Supercopa de España final between Barcelona and Real Madrid will take place on Sunday in Jeddah with a late change to the refereeing team due to injury. José Luis Munuera Montero will be the match referee. Adrián Cordero Vega was withdrawn as fourth official after failing pre-match fitness checks. Alejandro Quintero González replaces him, having served as fourth official in Barcelona's Supercopa semifinal and as a VAR assistant earlier in the competition. Íñigo Prieto and Antonio Martínez remain assistant referees, Adrián Díaz is fifth official, and VAR will be led by Daniel Trujillo Suárez. Munuera Montero's past record with both clubs is noted.
