Important news has been revealed regarding the Champions League match between FC Barcelona and Red Star Belgrade.
Shortly after finishing the twelfth round of La Liga, FC Barcelona prepares to return to the field next Wednesday to face Red Star Belgrade on the 4th day of the Champions League. This duel, which will take place in Serbia, is crucial for the Catalan club. During the first three days of this competition, FC Barcelona won 2 matches and lost 1, so it is imperative to win to improve its ranking and claim the top 8 teams directly qualified for the round of 16. Furthermore, the name of the referee has been communicated for this meeting.
Espen Eskas au whistle
The referee of the match will be the Norwegian Espen Eskas, who will officiate an FC Barcelona match for the first time. Aside from Real Madrid, who benefited from a victory under his refereeing, the Spaniards remember other less favorable memories with Eskas, notably during the final of the 2024 U21 European Championship where Spain was beaten by England, as well as during the defeat of the Spanish women's team against Brazil in the semi-final of the Paris Games. FC Barcelona players will do everything to win this match and progress in the rankings.
