The New Card Master? Referee Quintero Issues Eight Reds and 42 Yellows in Nine La Liga Matches

Real Madrid suffered a 0-2 home defeat to Celta Vigo in La Liga Matchday 15, a match notable for the controversial decisions of the referee, Alejandro Quintero. Real Madrid defenders Fran García and Álvaro Carreras were both sent off, contributing to Quintero’s startling disciplinary record this season.

The 32-year-old referee dismissed Fran García after issuing him two yellow cards in quick succession in the 63rd and 64th minutes. Quintero repeated this method in stoppage time, sending off another Real Madrid defender, Álvaro Carreras, also with two rapid yellow cards.

Following this match, Alejandro Quintero's season statistics show that he has now issued 8 red cards (four straight reds) and 42 yellow cards across just nine La Liga matches.
Quintero's high frequency of card usage, highlighted by the two quick dismissals against Real Madrid, has earned him the unofficial title of the 'New Card Master' in Spanish football, raising questions about consistency in officiating.
