Player data: 2000-01 → 2021-22 only. Player-level match sheets come from Zenodo (BeSoccer, CC BY-NC 4.0 licence, non-commercial use). No free source provides them after 2021-22: more recent matches are not counted here. Penalties conceded are not attributed to players in the source, so they are not analysed.

In short

Estrada Fernández refereed 21 Liga matches in which Vicente Iborra took part, from 2010-11 to 2020-21: 1,614 minutes played, 7 yellow cards and 2 red cards. With the other referees, over the same seasons (237 matches, 17,298 minutes), Vicente Iborra receives 0.42 yellow cards per 90 minutes, against 0.39 with Estrada Fernández.
