Alejandro Hernández Hernández to referee PSG vs Chelsea Champions League last-16 first leg | OneFootball

Spanish referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández will take charge of PSG vs Chelsea in the Champions League last-16 first leg on Wednesday at 21:00.

According to L'Équipe, UEFA has appointed him for what will be his 10th Champions League match. The Spaniard has overseen more than 250 La Liga games and was voted the league’s best referee in 2017.

It will be the first time he encounters the European champions in his career. A few PSG supporters may remember him from the 2016 Youth League quarter-final against Roma, which PSG won 3-1.

He has already refereed Chelsea twice, last season in a Europa Conference League quarter-final against Legia Warsaw that finished 1-2, then this season in their 1-2 defeat at Atalanta in Bergamo.

This season he has also handled several Champions League fixtures, including the play-off second leg between Inter and Bodø/Glimt that ended 1-2, and PSV Eindhoven’s 4-1 win at Liverpool.
