The referee for the final against England will be Frenchman Letexier.
The referee will blow the whistle in this Sunday’s Grand Final. Spain and GermanyIt’s a French word. Francois LetexierThis confirms the exceptional progress of this young French referee, who has only just turned 35. He has been playing in the French league since 2016 and has had his international badge since 2017. He is part of UEFA’s elite group of the best referees on the continent.
In fact, he is having his best season yet, as evidenced by five Champions League matches and four Europa League matches this season, as well as England’s victory in the European Super Cup, Manchester City vs. Sevilla, last August. He also refereed from the penalty spot in the continental tournament, the first leg of the quarter-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid, which ended in a 3-3 draw. He also took charge of the group stage matches between Real Madrid 4 vs. Napoli and Atlético Madrid 3 vs. Feyenoord, as well as the Europa League semi-final between Bayern Leverkusen and Roma.
For the fourth time in this EuroCup, Croatia 2 Albania 2 blew the whistle first on the second day of the group stage. At the end of the first phase of the continental tournament, Denmark 0 Serbia 0, and the Spain vs Georgia match in the round of 16 ended with a 4-1 victory for Spain.
Spain has two precedents. In addition to this current EuroCup fixture, the last time they played was a 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic in the group stage of the Nations League in June 2022. The team was then managed by Luis Enrique. It will be the first time in his career as a referee that he will whistle for an England team, having previously only done so for England U20s and U21s. The fourth official will be the Polish Marciniak, with VAR Willy Delasheu in charge.
