German referee Daniel Siebert has been handed the whistle for this season's Champions League final, a well-deserved nod from UEFA after FIFA surprisingly passed him over for the World Cup. The 42-year-old official will take charge of the highly anticipated showdown between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain on May 30 at Budapest's Puskas Arena.

This appointment marks Siebert's 10th Champions League match of the season—and an impressive third consecutive round featuring Arsenal. The Gunners will certainly have a familiar face in the middle, as Siebert previously officiated their narrow 1-0 victories away at Sporting Lisbon in the quarterfinal first leg and at home against Atletico Madrid in the semifinal second leg.

On the PSG side, Siebert has worked just one match involving the French giants this campaign, a goalless draw at Athletic Bilbao during the league phase. Across his nine Champions League assignments this season, the German has shown a steady hand, issuing only two red cards and awarding a single penalty kick.

For fans gearing up for the final, it's worth noting Siebert's disciplined approach—expect a match where the flow is prioritized over frequent stoppages. Whether you're backing Arsenal's tactical precision or PSG's star power, this experienced referee is set to let the football do the talking under the Budapest lights.
