Wednesday evening, we will be treated to a great classic of the Champions League between Liverpool and Real Madrid. While the two teams have often crossed paths in recent years, and notably twice in the final (2018, 2022), this has always worked in favor of the Merengue who won the two finals but also the round of 16 in 2023. Draw doubt that the Reds, leaders of the C1 ranking, will be keen to take their revenge against the Merengue in doubt after their defeat against AC Milan.
Letexier on the whistle!
In any case, this clash will have a little French accent since UEFA has announced that it will be François Letexier who will be the referee of the match. Now recognized in Europe after refereeing the final of the last Euro between Spain and England, the Frenchman is a little lucky charm for the Madrilenians since they never lost when he was on the whistle. This has already happened three times: 2-0 against Chelsea in 2022-2023, 4-2 against Naples in 2023-2024 and the famous 3-3 against Manchester City in 2023-2024. Never three without four? Answer Wednesday evening!
