Man Utd & Tottenham learn controversial referee appointment for Europa League final

The next European League final will be supervised between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur by German referee Felix Zayer, who had previously served a six -month embargo because of his participation in the matches stabilization scandal.

Zwayer found himself tangled on the Internet that Robert Huier was carried out in 2005. The German official was one of the informants of the violations who highlighted the Hozer plot on a large scale across the second German class.

He also explained in an interview with Tagesspiegel am Sonntag At that time, Zwayer claimed that he asked Huzer a guarantee as a result of a meeting between the Rot-Wiss Essen and color. “When I got this fixed offer from Huier, I went to my colleagues in the ruling,” Zayer claimed. “I reiterate again that I strongly rejected this offer immediately.”

“I have a clear conscience, and I can sleep well because I know that I did not tamper with the game,” as the former real estate agent claimed.

While Humizer was banned for life, Zwayer received a six -month comment after the German football Association (DFB) discovered that 300 euros of his country.

Zwire served his ban and took over his first flying match in 2009, before becoming a referee listed on the FIFA list after three years. The news of the comment of the official born in Berlin only appeared in 2014.

Jude Bellingham was badly clashed with Zayer while playing with Borussia Dortmund in 2021. After being defeated by Bayern Munich thanks to Robert Levandowski, a penalty kick, the English midfielder was amazed: “You are giving the referee, who was previously installed, and the largest match in Germany. What did you expect?” Bellingham was fined for 40,000 euros due to his comments, and it took a two -month -old official’s official.

Despite his controversial past, Zwayer continued to get an abundance of prominent matches. The German official was collected with Bellingham in the semi -finals of the Euro 2024 and in fact gave England a doubtful penalty that helped the three lions find the Netherlands.

Earlier this month, Zwire took over the defeat of Arsenal 2-1 against Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals of the Champions League without any noticeable mistakes.

Tottenham has been sentenced twice by Zwayer. The North London team has not yet won a match under its watch, despite the Champions League defeat against Barcelona in 2018 for more brilliance of Lionel Messi than any mistake than the official. In contrast, United was not lost under the Zwayer hour.

United and Tottenham are scheduled to face the European League final on Wednesday, May 21, at the San Menseen Stadium in Bilbao.
