Sven Jablonski will referee the clash between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain on the second matchday of the Champions League. The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) announced his appointment, with fellow Germans Edward Beitinger and Christian Dietz named as his assistants. The reigning European champions are expected in England to face Manchester City.
Paris Saint-Germain come into the fixture top of the Champions League after a commanding 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava. They now face a more difficult opponent next Wednesday. It will be the first time Jablonski has refereed a Paris Saint-Germain match in the competition.
The German official has, however, already refereed Manchester City in the Champions League. Last season, he was in charge when the English side lost away to Bodø/Glimt (1-3) in the group stage, a precedent that adds a particular resonance to his appointment.
French supporters have also seen him this season: Jablonski refereed the first leg of the Champions League qualifying play-off between Fenerbahçe and Olympique Lyonnais, which finished 1-1.
