Real Madrid is preparing for a crucial clash in the Champions League, where they will face Bayern Munich in the return leg at the Allianz Arena.
After losing in the first leg, the Madrid team is forced to pull off an upset on the road to keep their European dream alive.
On the eve of this important duel, there has been some positive news for "Los Blancos", related to a key element of the match: the referee.
UEFA has appointed Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic to officiate the match, a name that brings back fond memories for the Madrid club, writes "Goal.com", reports "Gazeta Express".
This will be the fifth time Vincic has taken charge of a Real Madrid match in the Champions League and the balance is in favor of the Spaniards, who have won three of the previous four meetings under his leadership.
His name holds special weight for Madrid fans, as he was also the referee of the 2024 Champions League final, where Real Madrid triumphed over Borussia Dortmund.
Most recently, the Slovenian has also been in the spotlight in another important European match, refereeing Paris Saint-Germain's victory over Chelsea in the quarter-finals.
All eyes are now on the challenge in Munich, where Real Madrid will be looking for a major upset to continue their journey in Europe.
"Los Blancos" hope that everything will be decided on the field, without controversy and without outside influences, in one of the most important matches of the season. /Express newspaper
