Marciniak chosen to referee Germany vs. Italy
Polish referee Szymon Marciniak has been assigned for the second leg of the Nations League quarter-final between Italy and Germany.
It is scheduled to kick off at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund on Sunday at 19.45 GMT.
Germany have the upper hand after fighting back from a Sandro Tonali opener to win the match 2-1 at San Siro.
There is no away goals rule, so if Italy win by one clear goal, the tie goes to extra time and potentially even a penalty shoot-out.
Marciniak has been appointed to officiate, assisted by Tomasz Listkiewicz, Adam Kupsik and fourth official Pawel Raczkowski.
The Video Assistant Referees are also from Poland, Pawel Pskit and Tomasz Kwiatkowski.
Germany vs. Italy in the hands of Marciniak
Marciniak is a 44-year-old referee who has a poor record with Italy, as the Azzurri only managed one draw and two defeats in his games.
They were beaten 3-1 in a friendly by Belgium in November 2015, then drew 0-0 with England in the Nations League in June 2022.
Most recently, the Nazionale crashed out of EURO 2024 with a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in June 2024.
His overall record with Italian sides at club and youth level is also not reassuring, overseeing 13 victories, 12 draws and 16 losses.
That includes sending Theo Hernandez off for simulation during Milan’s 1-1 Champions League play-off draw with Feyenoord last month.
