In a vibrant match, the Romanian referee Ovidiu Hategan He sanctioned Dinamo Kiev with 7 fouls and FC Barcelona with 15, always being close to the play and with the same criteria for both teams at the time of sanctioning the fouls. He applied the advantage correctly, knowing how to direct the match with solvency, although perhaps he was too permissive with the protests of the footballers. He used preventive arbitration at different times and gave fair reprimands on five occasions. But maybe he should have shown the yellow card in the 17th minute Syorta for taking down Memphis Depay cutting off a promising attack.
The VAR of Italian Marco di Bello he hit the mark when he sent the penalty whistled for a theoretical foul to be reviewed Ansu Fati. Refereeing Champions League matches always has an added difficulty, but the Romanian, doing a sober refereeing, was right by not conceding a penalty in the 62nd minute after reviewing the play on the monitor.
