The referee who will blow the whistle this coming Thursday is the first of three finals left for Seville in his way to try to achieve and raise the european league. Meeting to be held at JUventus Stadium before the return next Thursday the 18th of this month where the return will be held in Sánchez Pijuan.
Meeting to whistle German Daniel Siebert, nearly 38 years old and refereeing in the Bundesliga since 2015. He was one of the referees from the UEFA Elite group at the World Cup in Qatar where he whistled one of the most controversial matches and that ended in the elimination of Uruguay against Ghana. Game that left us with complaints of rojiblanco Giménez or the gesture of Cavani touching the VAR monitor.
This is the fourth match to be whistled in Europe this season. Two in the Champions League and third in the Europa League. And where Sevilla’s club’s eternal rivals, Betis, surely blew the whistle, their visit to Old Trafford against Manchester United ended in a 4-1 defeat to the English in the round of 16.
This is the second time he has whistled in Europe for Sevilla. The former was also in the Europa League, specifically in the group stage where they lost 1-0 in their visit to Standard Liège. And this is the third time he has whistled for Juventus on the Old Continent. The last was in February 2022 when they drew 1-1 with Villarreal at the Cerámica stadium. The first time was also in the Champions League where they beat Ferencvaros 2-1.
