Match official Szymon Marcinak was picked to referee the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan on June 10th.<\/p>\n
Marcinak famously was in charge of that memorable game between France and Argentina at the 2022 World Cup final. He received huge praise for handling one of the most nerve-wracking matches in football history.<\/p>\n
Therefore, UEFA have opted for him, meaning the 42-year-old will achieve a highly prestigious feat of officiating the two biggest finals of national and European soccer in the same season.<\/p>\n
The previous referee, who achieved this feat was Howard Webb back in 2010, when he officiated both Bayern-Inter and Spain-Netherlands finals.<\/p>\n
Marcinak has an experience of officiating both of the finalists matches on their road to Istanbul- Manchester City’s 2nd leg 1\/2 final win over Real Madrid and Inter’s 0-0 draw with Porto in the last 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
