PSG returns to the Champions League on Wednesday evening in the first leg against the Spaniards Real Sociedad. For this decisive meeting, the Parisians will be refereed by an inexperienced referee.
The Italian Marco Guida, designated by UEFA, has on paper few benchmarks at this level of the competition. The 42-year-old official has not managed any match in the final stages of the Champions League and he has only refereed seven matches in the premier club competitions.
During this season, Guida has been on the whistle three times in the Champions League. He was notably at the helm during RC Lens’ exploit against Arsenal (2-1) and during Manchester United’s victory against FC Copenhagen (1-0).
He has already refereed PSG
Despite this lack of European reference, Guida has already refereed PSG. It was he who officiated during the Parisian success in the group stage of the 2021 edition against the Germans RB Leipzig (3-2). He did not hesitate that day to twice designate the penalty point in favor of the capital club.
Internationally, the Italian also had the opportunity to referee the French team twice. The first time, on November 16, 2021, the Blues won (2-0) in Finland, and the second, on June 6, 2022, they were held in check (1-1) by Croatia in the Nations League .
