István Kovács will referee the match between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. The Romanian official will be on the whistle for this match for the fifth day of this league phase of the Champions League. The 40-year-old referee had already officiated a meeting of the Ile-de-France club last season. A pretty good memory for the Parisians, because it is the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League, won against FC Barcelona (4-1) in Montjuic.
Kovács is also a referee well known to French football fans, since he also left memories, a little less good, for Marseille supporters. The Romanian was, in fact, on the whistle for the first leg of the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League between Panathinaikos and OM at the start of last season. The Olympians bowed and pointed out more than harsh refereeing on the part of the 1.97m official.
