We already know the referee who will whistle the second commitment of the coming Tuesday Spain in the view of Scotland at this stage of qualifying for Euro 2024 and the last in this options window. It treats a real stranger to Spanish football, the Swiss Sandro Schaerer. 34 years old, he has international status since 2015.
In fact, he is currently the Swiss referee with the most projections in Europe and is the only part of the Elite group, the most highly regarded within UEFA and that consists of what are considered the best 32 referees in the Old Continent.
At the European level this season he has whistled five games in the Champions League. The first was also against Real Madrid during their visit to Celtic in Glasgow, which ended in a 3-0 victory for the Whites. In addition, he whistled for Real Sociedad just a few weeks ago in their Europa League defeat against Roma at the Italian stadium.
His most important match for his country is the Swiss Cup final of the 2019-2020 season. It is noteworthy that this season he has whistled up to four times in the Saudi league. The last of them on February 23 in the rivalry between Al Ittihad and Al Raed.
There is no precedent in Spain, yes one with Scotland
This is his debut in the Spanish team. So far he has not whistled for the national team, with Real Sociedad on two occasions being the Spanish club he has directed most often. It has a precedent in Scotland. It was on September 24 in group B of the League of Nations and where they defeated the Republic of Ireland 2-1. Celtic, on three occasions, is the club that has dominated Scottish football the most times.
