Daniele Orsato could say goodbye to the Champions League on Tuesday. The 48-year-old veteran Italian referee will hang up his whistle at the end of the current campaign with the EURO.

At the end of the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, while the Germans were celebrating and the French were lamenting, the Italian referee wept with emotion.

Although the Champions League has no age limit to stop refereeing, the truth is that Orsato could say goodbye to the field of play once the European Championship is over.

Orsato is one of the great classics of European refereeing. He has officiated a total of 55 matches, making him the fourth most-capped referee in the competition.
