UEFA has announced that it will not punish Polish referee Szymon Marciniak in the Champions League final to be played between Inter and Manchester City (June 10, Istanbul).

The possible reason for Marciniak’s dismissal was his participation in the Everest conference, organized by the leader of the far-right Polish political party New Hope Slawomir Metzen.

Marciniak publicly apologized for attending this event:

“I was seriously misled and completely unaware of the true nature and source of the incident in question. I didn’t know it was about the Polish far right. Had I known this fact, I would have categorically declined the invitation. It is important to understand that the values promoted by this movement are completely against my personal beliefs and principles that I am trying to uphold in my life.

I would like to emphasize my unwavering support for the values that UEFA stands for, especially for inclusion and respect for all people, regardless of their background. These principles are central to the spirit of football and align organically with my personal beliefs. I also wholeheartedly condemn any form of hatred, discrimination or intolerance as it has no place neither in sports nor in society in general.

I also want to emphasize my commitment to the fight against discrimination in football. In the future, I promise to be more careful about learning about events and organizations I associate myself with. I am determined to learn from this experience and ensure that such judgmental errors are not repeated in the future.”

46-year-old French expert Thierry Henry He evaluated Arsenal’s chances of winning the Champions League.

“Actually, it’s still early. As a fan, I want them to win. But the number of matches you have to play in England… can be overwhelming,” Henry told CBS Sports.

However, the manager of the France U-21 team did not rule out the possibility, noting Arsenal’s performance when they reached the final in 2006.

If you had told me that Inter would reach the final last year, I would have said no from the beginning. If you had said that Milan would reach the semi-finals, I would not have agreed.

If you had told me in 2006 that this team and I would reach the final, even though I was playing for Arsenal, I would have said no. But we broke up. So you have to have faith, you never know what will happen. There are teams in these competitions that are way ahead of the others in terms of having already played big matches, having won them, so these guys are ahead,” added the Frenchman.

Note that Arsenal’s opponents in the group stage were Lens, Sevilla and PSV. In the first round, the British defeated the club from Eindhoven with a score of 4:0.

Henry made 377 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 228 goals and providing 103 assists.
