German referee Daniel Siebert will take charge of this crucial tie, with the 39-year-old an experienced official who will manage to stop tempers from boiling over too much on Saturday.
A Bundesliga referee since 2012, Siebert has refereed on the international stage since 2015, overseeing three matches during Euro 2020 and then two in the 2022 World Cup’s group stage.
A part-time teacher, Siebert’s notable performances include a 2019 German Supercup final between bitter rivals Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, plus a fiery April 2022 Champions League tie between Atletico Madrid and Manchester City.
