The assignment of simon marciniak tonight at the Etihad Stadium is the best symptom to determine the importance of the match between City of Manchester and the real Madrid. It is a highly anticipated final between the two best teams in Europe and that requires the best referee in the world. The Polish referee was chosen by FIFA to whistle in December’s final in Qatar, which led to the World Cup title for Argentina. A final in which extra time was reached and in which the enormous personality of the Polish referee was shown, blowing up to three maximum penalties. And in all of them he was right.
It just so happens that recently Marciniak’s presence at Real Madrid has been synonymous with the Champions. The last three times that the Poles crossed the path of the whites, they ended up raising the orejona. The last one was last season in the quarterfinals. The Pole attends the second of three great returns of real Madrid on fourteenth street. The win in extra time 2-3 against Chelsea. In the same season, he already refereed the white team’s 3-0 victory against Sheriff in the group stage.
Within this path of the Pole with the Real Madrid Champions League, but before that he participated in a match of the thirteenth Champions League in the 2017-2018 season. In particular, in a 1-1 draw in October 2017 at the Santiago Bernabéu against Tottenham English. This is Zidane’s third Champions League.
A year ago, in the second white orejona, he was in a team against the stage where the real Madrid the two are tied to him Borussia Dortmund.
This equal path of the Polish international and Real Madrid started in 2016. Specifically in the round of 16 of the 2015-2016 season when Real Madrid also beat Roma 2-0 in their stadium. Tonight we will find out if this idyll between the two continues and Real Madrid passes the tie, playing another final of the highest club competition and deciding to join the fifteenth Champions League. The fifth where the referee meets the white team. Real Madrid have only lost once to Marciniak as a referee in Europe. It was in the 2018 European Super Cup and against Atlético de Madrid. The match reached extra time and the white team lost 2-4.
