Eduardo Iturralde González

Eduardo Iturralde González (born 20 February 1967 in Arrankudiaga) is a retired Spanish football referee.

Iturralde notably refereed the El Clásico on three occasions, in 1999, 2005[1] and most recently in November 2010, in which he was praised by Barcelona for his performance.

Early in the game, he sent off Armenian goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky for a handball, although video replays indicated that the ball hit his chest.

[3] Two days after the match, the Football Federation of Armenia officially filed a protest to UEFA over the goalkeeper's dismissal.

He could not finish this game due to a muscle injury, being substituted by the fourth referee, Gorka Sagués Oscoz, during half time.
