Who is François Letexier, the referee of Real Madrid vs. Chelsea to the quarter-finals of the 2022-2023 UEFA Champions League
To do justice to this match, UEFA has appointed 33-year-old Frenchman François Letexier. This will be the first game the French referee has refereed in a knockout round of the UEFA Champions League. So far he had only refereed group stage matches.
In concrete terms, the Frenchman has so far refereed seven Champions League matches. It will be the first time he referees Real Madrid. However, it will be his third time in charge of a Chelsea game. In the other two games, the English team triumphed: last season against Malmö (4-0) and this season against Dinamo Zagreb (2-1). It will be the first time that he referees a match for a Spanish team in the Champions League.
