Champions League: Referee for PSG vs Tottenham showdown revealed | OneFootball

PSG vs Tottenham

UEFA has made its decision regarding the referee for the highly anticipated clash between Tottenham Hotspur and PSG this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes.

PSG will host Tottenham next Wednesday in the Champions League. For this blockbuster encounter, Felix Zwayer will be in charge at the Parc des Princes. However, this appointment has sparked plenty of reaction. The German referee carries a controversial reputation, stemming from a corruption scandal dating back to the early 2000s. From a Parisian perspective, his selection could be seen as a positive sign.

Back in 2004, Zwayer was embroiled in a match-fixing scandal in Germany's second division, having accepted €300 to turn a blind eye to questionable decisions during a manipulated fixture. He was handed a six-month suspension in 2005 and remains a polarizing figure in German football, with critics decrying both his arrogance and his authoritarian officiating style.
