Spanish referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero has been suspended from officiating in European competitions until further notice, following UEFA’s latest disciplinary action.
This decision comes shortly after La Liga removed him from its referee roster for the matchweek, a move reportedly linked to his controversial performance in the recent Osasuna vs. Real Madrid clash.
Montero made headlines when he sent off Jude Bellingham for dissent, a call that sparked massive backlash from fans and pundits alike. Many questioned the decision, labeling it excessive and unfair.
According to Relevo, Montero has been omitted from La Liga’s upcoming match roster, while transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed UEFA’s suspension.
With UEFA’s ruling, Montero is now barred from officiating in the Champions League, Europa League, and all other European competitions indefinitely. His handling of high-profile games in recent weeks has drawn heavy scrutiny, leading to this swift action.
UEFA’s decision underscores its commitment to fair play and integrity, ensuring that refereeing standards remain top-notch across Europe’s biggest football competitions.
