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.

With the other referees, over the same seasons (240 matches, 18,326 minutes), Luka Modrić receives 0.19 yellow cards per 90 minutes, against 0.18 with Martínez Munuera.
