If you follow Spanish football closely, the name of the referee for Dortmund-PSG on Tuesday, round of 16 in the Champions League, is not unknown to you: Antonio Mateu Lahoz. Aged 42, he has solid experience in La Liga, where he regularly referees Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. But also in the Champions League with 27 matches on the clock, including one from PSG, in September 2017 against Bayern Munich (3-0).

Mateu Lahoz knows Borussia Dortmund better for having crossed paths with him three times. Twice in the 2014-2015 C1 season against Galatasaray (4-0) and Juventus Turin (1-2). But especially last season, in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League at Tottenham (3-0).

On the European scene, it has never distributed a direct red card. On the other hand, Mateu Lahoz has released 97 yellows over these 27 games.

Finally, this official also has the experience of a World Cup. In Russia, in the summer of 2018, Mateu Lahoz officiated during two meetings of the group phase: Denmark-Australia (1-1) and Iceland-Croatia (1-2).
