This will be Marciniak’s second appointment in this season’s Champions League, after PSG's 1-2 loss to Atletico in Paris on November 6, according to TVP Sport.

The 43-year-old Pole is regarded as one of the world's top football referees.

In December 2022, he officiated the World Cup final in which Argentina beat defending champions France 4-2 on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw in normal time.

In May 2022, Marciniak refereed the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan in Istanbul.
