The 30-year-old Aragonese referee Carlos Muñiz will make his La Liga debut this Sunday in the match between Espanyol and Levante at RCDE Stadium. He has never officiated an Espanyol game in the top flight, though he did referee their B team in Segunda Federación during the 2021-2022 season. For Levante, this will be his third match with the team, where he has a perfect record of two wins in his previous two encounters.
Who is Carlos Muñiz?
Muñiz, newly promoted to La Liga, officiated 22 Segunda División matches last season, along with a promotion playoff game and two Copa del Rey rounds. For Sunday’s match, he will be assisted by José Antonio López and Alejandro Muñiz Ruiz in the VAR.
What does this mean for Levante?
Levante, who finished the 2025 season in 19th place with 29 points (7 wins, 8 draws, 16 losses), aims to improve this campaign. With a goal difference of -15 (35 scored, 50 conceded) and 50 points behind leaders Barcelona, the team needs a strong start.
What’s next?
Levante’s next match will be against Barcelona, the league leaders, on February 21, 2027, away from home.
