Barcelona learned on Thursday who will officiate their upcoming match against Celta Vigo, and the announcement has raised concerns among the club\u2019s supporters. The referee for the game, scheduled for Saturday night at Bala\u00eddos, will be C\u00e9sar Soto Grado.<\/p>\n

During the 2023\/24 campaign, his officiating sparked frustration among Barcelona fans in matches against Getafe, Granada, and Real Madrid.
