The stage is set for one of the biggest nights in European football, as UEFA has officially named the officials for the Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. Taking center stage will be German referee Daniel Siebert, who is set to make his UEFA club competition final debut—a milestone moment in his already impressive career.

Siebert, who has been an international referee since 2015, has been a familiar face in this season's Champions League, officiating nine matches. Arsenal fans in particular will recognize him: he was the man in the middle for their quarter-final first leg against Sporting and the dramatic semi-final second leg at home to Atletico Madrid. His experience on the big stage extends beyond club football—the 42-year-old also refereed two games at Euro 2024 and three at Euro 2020, showcasing his composure under pressure.

Joining Siebert in the officiating crew are fellow Germans Bastian Dankert and Robert Schroder, who will handle VAR duties. With such a seasoned team in place, all eyes will be on how they manage the intensity of a final that promises to be a clash of styles and ambitions.
