In a period when arbitration is strongly criticized, each referee designation is observed with the greatest attention by French football supporters. Inevitably, a few days before the classic, one of the meetings of the season in Ligue 1, the name of the referee who will officiate during this shock is scrutinized closely. This Tuesday, the name of the man in black who will arbitrate on Sunday at the Vélodrome is known: it will be Jérôme Brisard.
The 39 -year -old referee often referee for challenges in the elite and is regularly appointed to the Europa League and in League conference. The last classic he had arbitrated had been very controversial with OM's victory over the lawn of PSG in 2020 which had led to five evictions at the very end of the meeting for scuffles (Kurzawa, Neymar, Paredes, Amavi, Benedetto).
