The European Football Association gave French sage Stephanie Farabart the job of managing Real Madrid’s Champions League match against Scottish Celtic.
The 39-year-old official presided over the match between Liverpool and Chelsea in the 2019 European Super Cup, when she became the first woman to officiate a men’s game in a significant European competition.
Knowing that the riyal has already included qualifying for the next round, Farrabart will take charge of the match in the sixth and final round of the Champions League group stage. Although he did not resolve the group’s top spot, he currently has 10 points, compared to his German club Liepzig’s 9, and Shakhtar Al-6 Ukraini’s points. The Celtic setup comes in third place with just two points.
A few hours after an arbitration dispute involving the Merengue match against Girona, which resulted in a 1-1 tie in the La Liga tournaments, Farawab was chosen to oversee the Real match against Celtic.
The game, which was presided over by referee Mario Lopez, had controversy and Madrid protests after Lopez determined a penalty for Girona in the 80th minute, which resulted in a tie for the visiting club, as well as the red card for royal team player Tony Kroos in the last minute.
After protesting the arbitration, a female whistle will be used for the following Real Madrid game.
