Referee named for Champions League match between Real Madrid and Inter Milan

Michael Oliver, an English referee, has been selected to officiate the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Inter Milan, marking their first appearance in the tournament this season. The match is scheduled to take place at the Bernabéu on Tuesday, at 9:00 pm CEST, and will be broadcast on Orange TV and Movistar Plus+. This will be Oliver's sixth time refereeing a Real Madrid team in European competition.

Previous matches include Real Madrid-Bayern Munich in the 2025/26 quarter-finals, Real Madrid-Juventus in the 2017/18 quarter-finals, and a UEFA Super Cup against Braga in 2022. Oliver, with his experience, is expected to maintain control during what should be an intense game, considering Real Madrid's recent loss to Betis.
