The French Clement Turpin He is in charge of directing the grand final of this edition of the Champions League tonight. A tribute to the long career Frenchman who also whistled in his homeland is the most important club match a referee can whistle in Europe. An arbitrator who is curious to whom real Madrid He has yet to lose in the finals.
There were two precedents where the Frenchman coincided in the big event with the white team, and in both he ended up winning. The most immediate precedent is certainly the previous confrontation between Real Madrid and Liverpool in kyiv. That day Turpin acted as the fourth referee in a match in which the white club ended up raising thirteenth.
The previous precedent was in the 2017 European Super Cup against Manchester United. That day he also starred on the sideline, and the title was also chosen by the Madrid side. He has just been appointed to the 36 referees who will attend the World Cup in Qatar.
In fact, Real Madrid is full of victories with Turpin as referee in the four games he has called up so far. The latter was in the first leg of this season’s quarterfinals in London, where Real Madrid won, 1-3. Liverpool have had three chances to whistle so far, and the English have also not lost to the French. It’s been more than a year since he whistled. The last time was in the second leg of last season’s round of 16 where Liverpool beat RB Leizpig 2-0 at Anfield.
This appointment came a year after UEFA was selected to referee in the Europa League final played at Gdsansk Stadium in Poland and between Manchester United and Villarreal. Title ended up being awarded to the yellow submarine. There are six games the Frenchman has called up this season in the Champions League.
This 39-year-old referee has been an international since 2010 and has officiated four matches on the group stage of the continental competition. He then taught the first leg of the round of 16 between Bayern Munich and Salzburg. His final precedent this season in the Champions League will certainly be the first leg of the quarterfinals between Chelsea and Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge. There have been three games he has led in the Europa League and of which the last game was the round of 16 match between West Ham and Sevilla.
