We already know the referee appointed by UEFA for the rivalry with Sevilla this Wednesday at Sánchez Pijuan toagainst PSV. A match marked by the Sevillian club’s situation in European competition and also after complaints about the refereeing of Ortiz Arias at Real Sociedad – Seville.
Match to be whistled by the veteran Italian referee David Massa. The 42-year-old Italian has been international since 2014. This is the third match he has refereed in the current edition of the Champions League.
This is the third time he has whistled for the Sevillian club in Europe and the Champions League. And in the previous two, both against English teams, they did not end in victory. The latter was in the group stage last season when Manchester City won 0-4 at Sánchez Pijuan. The first was on October 20, 2020 when the Andalusians visited Chelsea against Stamford Bridge and ended in a goalless draw. Massimiliano Irrati is on VAR, the same on Barcelona-Porto tomorrow.
