What am I looking at?

Individual refs: stats for one official across all Real Madrid games they worked, even with different partners.
Team baseline: Real Madrid went 107-26-21 (69.5%) across this sample. Ref win rates show how they compare to that team average.
Whistle differential: who gets called more. A positive number means opponents are whistled more often than Real Madrid.

Scores, fouls, cards, and referee assignments from ESPN (1551 games, 183 with sportsbook totals). Referee coverage only where ESPN lists gameInfo.officials (2021-22 onward); games without referee names are excluded entirely. football-data.co.uk SP1 CSVs lack a Referee column and are not used. Matrix: 473/640 ref×team pairs with 3+ games. 349 games skipped (no official listed). Ref game counts rebuilt from DISTINCT game_id in game logs.
