Mariani officiated Paris vs. Bayern, but was suspended from officiating in Serie A due to recent major misjudgments.

Hupu November 03 News The Champions League dialogue between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich has not yet started, but controversy has already started off the court. Italian referee Maurizio Mariani, who was scheduled to officiate this game, became the focus of public opinion because he and assistant referee Daniele Bindoni had just been suspended from Serie A.

According to "Corriere dello Sport" reports, this pair of referees have made many major misjudgments in Serie A recently, so they were removed from the Serie A enforcement list last week and were only arranged to officiate one Serie B game last weekend (Entra 1-0 Empoli).

Bayern Sports Director Eberl responded cautiously after learning the news: "I will not intervene in UEFA's referee designation issue. The fact is that we all need to learn and accumulate experience. Only in this way can young referees be promoted to the top level. To be honest, I have not Get to know this referee. This is a topic I cannot influence."

The 43-year-old referee Mariani has not officiated much this season. He has only officiated two games in Serie A and officiated Liverpool's 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League in September.

What really got him into trouble was the focus of Serie A match between Inter Milan and Naples in late October. In the 28th minute of the game, Inter midfielder Mkhitaryan had slight physical contact with Naples defender Di Lorenzo in the penalty area. Mariani signaled for the game to continue, but eight seconds later assistant Bindoni signaled for him to call a penalty kick. Due to the extremely light contact, VAR was unable to intervene to overturn the penalty. This penalty eventually caused Naples to fall behind 0-1, causing huge controversy.

The Italian referee director Gianluca Rocchi (Gianluca Rocchi) was said to be extremely angry about this. He asked the referee to only award penalty kicks in the case of clear and obvious fouls in the penalty area and not to make decisions based on minor contacts.

In addition, in that game, Inter Milan also requested a second yellow card for consecutive fouls on Naples midfielder Gilmour, but Mariani ignored it.

Afterwards, Rocchi decided to temporarily remove Mariani and his assistants from the Serie A law enforcement list.
