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

Hernández Hernández refereed 25 Liga matches in which Karim Benzema took part, from 2012-13 to 2021-22: 1,961 minutes played, 1 yellow cards and 0 red cards. With the other referees, over the same seasons (296 matches, 22,581 minutes), Karim Benzema receives 0.02 yellow cards per 90 minutes, against 0.05 with Hernández Hernández.

Cards are rare (less than one per player per match): over a few dozen matches, only a very large deviation can be told apart from chance. "No clear difference" does not mean "no effect".
