UEFA have announced their refereeing teams for the Champions League second-leg ties, with one surprising change.
For Sporting CP‘s return match against Bodo/Glimt (3-0 to the Norwegians) a Swiss refereeing team have been submitted.
However, main referee Sandro Scharer has been separated from one of his usual assistants for a surprise reason.
Stéphane de Almeida has been replaced by Susanne Kung because of his last name.
A Bola report that the Swiss official has Portuguese ancestry from the Chaves region, and UEFA were keen to avoid any conflicts of interest.
