Quarter-final of the Champions League sees Danièle Orsato as the appointed referee in the clash between PSG and Bayern Munich

UEFA Appoints Top Referee Daniele Orsato for PSG vs Bayern Munich Quarter-Final

Daniele Orsato, Europe's top referee, has been appointed by UEFA to officiate the return leg of the current tournament's quarter-final between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Bayern Munich. This marks Orsato's first match in the Champions League this season.

Orsato, who is 45 years old, has a distinguished record in the Champions League. His appointments have often resulted in exciting matches, with the outcomes varying by match and season.

In the past, Orsato has overseen some significant encounters. Notably, he was the referee in last year's Champions League final between PSG and Bayern Munich. That match ended in a 1-0 defeat for PSG, marking their only loss under Orsato in the Champions League.

PSG's record under Orsato in the Champions League is impressive, with a score of +2=0. However, this loss was the only blemish on their record, making it a memorable event in the competition's history.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, have a record of +3 wins and 0 losses under Orsato's whistle. Their only defeat under his refereeing came in 2019, when they lost to Liverpool (1:3).

As the two teams prepare to face each other once again, Orsato's aim is to minimize controversy surrounding the winner of the match. The match will aim to avoid any unnecessary drama, focusing instead on the football being played.

With Orsato at the helm, fans can expect a well-controlled and fair game. His appointment adds an extra layer of anticipation to an already exciting encounter between two of Europe's top football clubs. The return leg of the quarter-final is sure to be a thrilling spectacle.
