Marco Di Bello will be present on the pitch on Wednesday night at the Bernabeu, designated as the fourth official in the Italian team that will referee Real Madrid-Leipzig, the return leg of the last 1 (with Ancelotti leading 0-6 in Germany) scheduled for March XNUMX. The main referee will be Davide Massa, with Alassio and Meli as assistants. The VAR referees will be Irrati and Valeri, who will take care of the decisions in front of the monitor.
Di Bello was recently at the centre of controversy over his refereeing during the match between Lazio and Milan, and as a result, he will have to observe a period of inactivity of around a month in Serie A. His presence in the role of fourth official in Madrid represents a new opportunity to demonstrate his skills in a high-level international competition.
In the last few hours, the 42-year-old's wife intervened in defense of her husband through a long letter, highlighting Di Bello's hard work and commitment in his refereeing career. The situation, therefore, takes on broader contours and involves not only the playing field but also personal challenges and public defenses.
