The Italian Daniele Orsato (48 years old) will be the referee who this Tuesday will direct the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals between PS and Dortmund that will be played in the Parc des Princes in Paris (9:00 p.m.). Orsato is an old acquaintance for both Parisians and borussers. In this same edition of the Champions League, the Italian directed the Borussia Dortmund-PSV Eindhoven round of 16 duel (2-0). PSG, however, does not have such good memories of the referee, one of the best in Europe, since it was Orsato who directed the 2020 Champions League final in which the Parisians fell to Bayern (1-0), a team that also beat last season’s French champion in the round of 16 in the second leg that the Italian also coached.
The great game that Orsato has directed this season was the City-Real Madrid match in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 (1-1), which ended up being decided on penalties. The Italian had an impeccable performance and did not make any major mistakes that could affect the score. He has also called four other European Cup matches this year in addition to the two mentioned: Copenhagen-Galatasaray (1-0), Barcelona-Porto (2-1), Red Star-Leipzig (1-2) or the PSV-Sevilla (2-2).
As confirmed by UEFA, The Italian referee team will be completed by Massimiliano Irrati in the VAR (he usually accompanies him in European matches)with Paolo Valeri as assistant in the video referee room, along with Ciro Carbone and Alessandro Giallatini on the wings and Davide Massa as fourth referee.
