Everything about this weekend's El Clasico feels bigger than ever. The title race is reaching its climax, refereeing controversies are dominating headlines, and now the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) himself is expected to be in attendance at Spotify Camp Nou.

According to reports from AS, Rafael Louzan will be watching from the VIP box as Barcelona take on Real Madrid. The reason is simple: Barcelona can clinch the La Liga title with a win or even a draw against their eternal rivals in front of their own fans.

The stakes alone would make this a massive occasion, but the build-up has been charged with even more tension thanks to the ongoing debate around officiating in Spanish football this season. Referee Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez has been appointed to take charge of the match, immediately placing extra scrutiny on both him and the VAR team for such a high-stakes fixture.

Throughout the campaign, controversial decisions involving referees like Jesus Gil Manzano and Cesar Soto Grado have intensified criticism over VAR consistency and transparency. As a result, every major match now arrives with refereeing discussions already part of the story—before a single ball is kicked.

For Barcelona, however, the focus remains simple: beat Real Madrid and the title is theirs. If they do, there's even a chance the players could receive the La Liga trophy immediately after the final whistle. However, reports suggest the federation may prefer to wait until the next home fixture against Real Betis on May 17 to organize an official celebration with the supporters.

Either way, this El Clasico promises to be a defining moment in the season—and one no football fan will want to miss.
