The referee who will blow the whistle tomorrow for the return duel next Tuesday between Inter Milan and the Milan of the second leg of the semifinals of Champions Leaguea match where the interista team, playing at home, does so with a 0-2 advantage in the first leg.

And for this event of such caliber, UEFA decided to select the best European referee from the previous season 2021-2022. It’s about French clement turpin. In fact, the Frenchman was the referee of the last Champions League final on May 28 in Sant Dennis between Real Madrid and Liverpool, where the white team won their fourteenth Champions League.

The only time Interistas won with Turpin was in the 2018-2019 season, when they won at home 2-1 precisely against Tottenham. In the case of Milan, this is the fourth time he has led the Rossoneri with a balance of two draws and one loss. The Milan team has never won against the French. VAR also includes Jerome Brisard.
