My Take
What earns my respect here is that Cantalejo made history not as a player but as a referee. Being one of the few officials trusted to handle El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona is no small thing; staying composed in that powder-keg atmosphere takes real nerve. He debuted internationally in 2004 with Turkey versus Georgia and went on to be involved in the 2006 World Cup. The spotlight always falls on players, but I think the people who actually make a match possible deserve far more credit. Born in 1964, he is a true veteran, and I salute his fairness.
