Uefa appoint Swiss referee Massimo Busacca for Champions League final

25 May 2009 12:02
The 39-year-old, who refereed at both Germany 2006 and Euro 2008, took charge of United's Champions League quarter-final victory against FC Porto in Estadio do Dragao last month when Cristiano Ronaldo's 40-yard strike sealed a 1-0 win for Sir Alex Ferguson's team. Billed as a 'company director and keen skier' on Uefa's official website, Busacca is fluent in English, French, Italian and Spanish, who lists tennis and travelling as his hobbies. Wednesday's Champions League final will be the second major appointment of Busacca's career, following on from his role in the Uefa Cup Final between Espanyol and Sevilla at Hampden Park in 2007.
