Next week, the Champions League returns to the stage, and one of the matches in the opening round of the knockout stage will take place in Munich, where Bayern will host Lazio. The encounter between the Bavarians and the Romans will have a Slovenian touch as UEFA has decided that Slavko Vinčić will officiate at the iconic Allianz Arena.
The native of Maribor was still active on Saturday at the Slovenian league derby between Olimpija and Celje. However, he has no time for rest, as a much more demanding match awaits him on Tuesday, where Bayern will try to make up for the deficit from the first leg. Lazio secured a 1:0 victory at the Olimpico thanks to a goal by Ciro Immobile.
Slavko Vinčić, who has already officiated in 28 matches in the Champions League, will also have the assistance of compatriots. Serving as assistant referees will be Tomaž Klančnik and Andraž Kovačič, the fourth official will be Matej Jug, and in the video room, Nejc Kajtazović and his assistant Rade Obrenović will be in action.
