Chelsea vs Real Madrid: UEFA confirms referee for Champions League semi-final second leg

 


UEFA has picked Italian referee, Daniele Orsato, to take charge of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg between Chelsea and Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge.

Orsato who has been an international referee since 2010, oversaw Chelsea’s 2-0 home win over Atletico Madrid in the round of 16.

The linesmen will be his compatriots, Alessandro Giallatini and Fabiano Preti, while Massimiliano Irrati will be in charge of VAR.

It will be the fourth Real Madrid game that Orsato will take charge of.

The first was their 8-0 win over Malmo in the group stages of the 2015/2016 campaign.

Both sides played out a 1-1 draw in Madrid last week, after Karim Benzema cancelled out Christian Pulisic’s goal.
