Deniz Aytekin will remain the main Parisian trauma of the C1. During one of the most memorable evenings in the history of the Champions League, FC Barcelona and PSG had a crazy match. On March 8, 2017 at the Camp Nou, the Catalans made a historic comeback by winning 6-1 after losing 4-0 in the first leg at the Parc des Princes. A historic and unimaginable “comeback”.
But, at the center of this meeting, the German referee Deniz Aytekin was challenged. Without being sanctioned by UEFA, despite several obvious errors, he was gradually excluded from major European posters. Aged 47, Aytekin managed his last match in a draw between Frankfurt and Stuttgart this Saturday (2-2) and therefore retired. An official end to his career… which could still prompt the intervention of the VAR.
