German referee Deniz Aytekin will oversee Lazio’s upcoming Europa League play-off against Porto.
As highlighted by Italian media outlet LazioNews24 earlier today, UEFA have announced an all-German officiating team for the second leg of the Biancocelesti’s Europa League play-offs against the Portuguese side.
Porto currently lead Lazio on aggregate, having beaten Maurizio Sarri’s side 2-1 in Portugal last week, so the Biancocelesti need to dig deep to secure a decisive win at home this week.
