Italian Orsato to referee Champions League final
LAUSANNE, Aug 21, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Italian referee Daniele Orsato will take
charge of the Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern
Munich, UEFA announced Thursday.
Sunday’s showpiece at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon will be the first European
final for the 44-year-old official, who has been an international referee since
2010.
Orsato will be assisted by his compatriots Lorenzo Manganelli et Alessandro
Giallatini.
Orsato is no stranger to Paris Saint-Germain.
Last season, he refereed the French side’s 2-0 victory at Manchester United
in the round of 16 — though PSG were ultimately knocked out on the away goals
rule.
This season, he has officiated in eight Champions League matches, including
the last 16 first leg between Real Madrid and Manchester City.
