Sané meets referee Vincic: An explosive review of Bavaria vs. Barcelona!

The Champions League game of FC Bayern Munich against FC Barcelona, which will be broadcast on DAZN on Wednesday at 9:00 p.m., could promise a lot of tension. The Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic will lead the game and thus ensures a special reunion with Leroy Sané.

Vincic, an experienced referee, recently took a critical role in the National League game of the German national team against the Netherlands, which ended 1-0. A goal by Jamie Leweling was not recognized due to a controversial offside decision. The impartial decided that the situation was not new enough to explain the gate to be valid, although there were signs that a Dutch player had the ball under control. Such decisions often lead to heated discussions, and Vincic is in the light of criticism.
