After Borussia Dortmund's victory over PSG in the Champions League semi-final, referee Daniele Orsato was captured on camera showing raw emotion.

Throughout the match, Orsato, a FIFA referee since 2010, faced challenging decisions. Notably, he awarded a free kick instead of a penalty to PSG after a close call involving Hummels and Dembele just outside the penalty box.

The post-match scenes were poignant as Orsato, 48, realized it would be his final Champions League match. The Italian official is set to retire following Euro 2024.

Journalist Henry Winter, writing on X, said: “Italian ref Daniele Orsato showing how to run a game. Supported by VAR rather than governed by it. Strong, applied advantage, and decisive (rightly, quickly changed pen to fk. And Mbappe one prob 50-50). Respected by players.”
