UEFA has appointed Englishman Anthony Taylor to referee the Champions League clash between Sporting and Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night. Taylor, a seasoned official, has a significant history with PSG, having taken charge of nine of their matches. This is more than he has officiated any other non-British team.
PSG's record under Taylor stands at six wins, one draw, and two defeats, indicating a generally positive trend for the Parisian club. His previous assignments for PSG include a victory against Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup quarterfinal.
In contrast, Taylor has officiated Sporting only twice, with one win and one loss. His most recent encounter with Sporting was a loss in December 2024. This appointment sets a familiar face in a crucial European fixture for PSG.
