We have an official whistle blower for the Champions League match between Barcelona and Arsenal.
UEFA has named Turkish referee Cüneyt Çakir to officiate the first leg of the European Cup Round of 16 between the Gunners and the Blaugrana, Tuesday night in London. The 39-year-old is one of the best, most respected referees in Europe today, and has been selected for the most important matches in the competition so far.
Both teams have great recent memories in matches officiated by Çakir. He was the man in charge of Arsenal's fantastic 2-0 win against Bayern Munich in this season's group stage. The Turkish also blew the whistle in a Barça group phase match in this campaign, a 6-1 destruction of AS Roma last November. For Blaugrana fans, however, Çakir is most remembered for his presence in last season's Champions League Final in Berlin, that saw the Catalan giants defeat Juventus 3-1.
There was no controversy in terms of refereeing in any of the matches mentioned here, which almost guarantees that we won't have any problems with the officials on Tuesday. Let's enjoy football.
