For the UEFA Champions League final match, which will take place this Wednesday between Milan and Liverpool, the referee from Germany, Herbert Fandel, will be in charge.
The 42-year-old pianist's main competitor in the battle for prestigious duties was Luboš Michel from Slovakia.
The Italian press quickly found interesting facts related to this referee - he has previously officiated three matches for Liverpool and they never won. Not only that, they also failed to score a single goal.
Meanwhile, in matches involving Milan, he has worked five times and Milan always emerged victorious. This season, the German officiated a match where the Italians crushed Anderlecht from Brussels 4-1.
Throughout his 9-year career, H. Fandel has officiated 69 international matches.
