Former FIFA referee Miroslav Stupar evaluated the actions of the refereeing team in the final of the Champions League between “PSG” and “Inter”, in which the French club won with a score of 5:0.
“It is believed that the referee demonstrated a high class when he was inconspicuous on the field, allowing participants in the match to show all their skill.
So, in Munich, Romanian Kovac deserved the highest marks. The main thing is that he always kept up with the flow of events on the field despite the teams acting quickly. In the second half, the Italians, in several episodes, apparently from helplessness, played on the brink of a foul. But the referee did not allow passions to run wild on the pitch.
Of course, it is a bit disappointing that the final did not meet the expectations of those fans who were hoping for a fierce battle. There was a brilliant French club and a helpless “Inter.” Such matches, where the strengths of the participants are unequal, are difficult to officiate. Although the teams that were clarifying relationships were of world-class. But Kovac rose to the occasion.”
