UCL final: World Cup final referee to handle Man City vs Inter Milan game
Referee Szymon Marciniak of Poland has been choosen to officiate the champions league final between Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Recall that the 42-year-old arbiter was in charge of Argentina’s World Cup win over France in a penalty shootout in Doha, Qatar last December.
Earlier, his latest UCL duty saw him handling the Manchester City’s 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg and Inter Milan’s 0-0 draw at Porto in the round of 16.
Historically, the first World Cup-Champions League final double was done by English referee Howard Webb in 2010.
The pole will be expected to replicate his top performance at the world cup final in Qatar.
