Real Madrid vs Man City referee: Who will officiate the Champions League semi-final first leg​

Who is the referee for Real Madrid vs City?​

Artur Dias has been put in charge of the Champions League semi-final clash at the Bernabeu. He is the youngest Portuguese FIFA referee and has already taken charge of three Champions League games this season, handing out a red card in each game.

Referee	Artur Dias
Assistants	Paulo Soares, Pedro Ribeiro
Fourth Official	Daniele Orsato
VAR	Massimiliano Irrati
Assistant VAR	Tiago Martins

Dias officiated City's goalless draw against FC Copenhagen in the group stage earlier this campaign.
He showed a red card to Sergio Gomez, disallowed a goal for the English side but also awarded them a penalty, which was missed by Riyad Mahrez. He also recently took charge of Manchester United's Europa League defeat to Sevilla.


This will be the fourth time Dias will take charge of a Real Madrid fixture, with the most recent match coming in the 2019/20 season when they drew 2-2 with PSG at the Bernabeu.

There will soon be 75,000 plus in the Santiago Bernabéu baying for our blood. Every pass we make, will be jeered and we will be up against a referee that will likely favour the home team. We will also be facing truly world class players that have won this trophy multiple times (including 5 x winners).

Considering the above factors, a draw would be an exceptionally good result as would a one goal defeat.

Thought you were breaking out into a Police song there …

I am timekeeper for the Boston Wheelers 10 this evening at 7. All going to get record times so that I can get back home KO.

I know we’d all love to smash them early away, but I think a cool 1-1 draw would be an incredible result. I’ll be happy with the boys if that’s what we take back to the etihad.
