The same referee and VAR from past weekend robberies in the portuguese league: Chaves- Benfica, FC Porto - Santa Clara, Sporting - Arouca, are refereeing the Europe League quarter finals Sevilha- Man Utd.
They got their prize after all. In past times they used to be gifted prostitutes and gold chains, trips to Brasil and a good grade. I can't honestly understand how after a weekend of scandalous decisions they are all put in the same international game. The only thing that ocurrs to me is that it is in fact part of their bribe.
Referee- Artur Soares Dias
4th Official António Nobre
Tiago Martins and Luís Godinho in VAR.
I wouldn't put any money in this game if I were you. They are eather going to show us that they can actually officiate a high level game without any shenanigans, I highly doubt it since they probably got this far, by doing this kind of favours. Or we are in for a comedy show...with bad jokes.
