NYON, Switzerland (AP) — German referee Daniel Siebert was picked Monday by UEFA for the Champions League final after FIFA left him off its World Cup list.
The game between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain on May 30 at Puskas Arena in Budapest will be Siebert’s 10th in the Champions League this season — and the third straight round he will have worked an Arsenal match.
Siebert handled Arsenal’s 1-0 wins at Sporting Lisbon in the quarterfinals first leg, and at home to Atletico Madrid in the semifinals second leg.
He refereed PSG once this season, in a league phase game at Athletic Bilbao that ended 0-0.
In his nine Champions League games this season Siebert has shown two red cards and awarded just one penalty kick.
