Pierluigi Collina 👊🇮🇹

One of the best referees in the Champions League in the early 00's.

¿CAMBIO DE PLANES? 😶‍🌫️ A pesar de ya haber elegido número, parece que Santi Giménez no podría escogerlo, al menos en Champions. ¿Por qué? Te contamos. 👇 #SantiGiménez #Milán #Champions

I was in the stands at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium during the Galatasaray-Rangers match in 2001. When Collina came out to warm up, we called him to the stands and made him shout. It was an incredible moment. He was a very likeable man and a very good referee.

Corrupt 🐍

Que cagado se veia Verón com Beckham en el túnel...

Absolute legend. Got to see him ref a Fulham match. What a highlight.

One look from Collina and strikers would think twice about diving in the box. Made reffing an art form before VAR came along - controlled matches with presence not pixels. None of that modern palaver with 4 minute decisions and 20 angles
