Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain has a meeting with its history. The capital club travels to Borussia Dortmund for the semi-final first leg of the Champions League. 48 hours before the match, the referee of the match is known, and it is a bad memory for the Parisians.

Indeed, Anthony Taylor will be on the whistle for this semi-final at Signal Iduna Park. The 45-year-old officiated during PSG’s quarter-final first leg against FC Barcelona at the Parc des Princes, during which the Catalan club left with the victory (2-3). This is the eighth time that the Premier League referee will officiate during a French champions match. Hoping for a better outcome for PSG this time…
