The Spanish representation in the final of the Champions beyond the national players of each of the teams was that of Mateu lahoz and his refereeing team.
The Valencian collegiate, accompanied in the VAR for Martinez
Munuera and from the band by From Cerro Grande, carried out an immaculate direction of the game, devoid of controversy and in which both teams were satisfied.
After a long time postulated to direct a final of these characteristics, the UEFA appointed Mateu as the manager in a year in which the two finalists were not Spanish, an essential requirement that the football organization has as a priority when choosing the referee for the finals.
The only difficulties he had only had to do with the injuries of Thiago silva Y De Bruyne and he solved them correctly adding three minutes at the end of the first half and seven at the end of the second, also taking into account the changes made by the two teams.
