Barca Vs PSG Referee To Face UEFA Sanctions

Deniz Aytekin, who oversaw Bacelona’s historic win against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to face being demoted by UEFA following his performance in the match.

Barca were awarded two contentious penalties by the referee which helped them overturn their 4-0 deficit from the first leg to reach the quarter-finals.

And according to Spanish newspaper Marca, Aytekin's performance is being reviewed by UEFA and he could find himself demoted.

The awarding of the spot kick was furiously protested by the Paris Saint-Germain players who thought Suarez went down under very little contact. The replays would suggest that.

Though the panel are unlikely to impose any financial sanctions with the most likely scenarios being a demotion to lesser games or to simply be removed from action for a period of time.
