Referee Franck de Bleeckere to take charge of Barcelona - Real Madrid Champions League encounter - reportBelgian who sent off Inter's Thiago Motta at Camp Nou last season to take charge of fifth Clasico clash
Franck de Bleeckere will take charge of the Champions League semi-final, second-leg clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid at Camp Nou on Tuesday, according to AS.
The Belgian referee looks set to cross paths with Jose Mourinho once again, as it was he who sent off Inter's Thiago Motta for a clash with Sergio Busquets at this stage of the competition last season.Inter went on to lose the game 1-0 after Gerard Pique's 84th minute winner, but went through 3-2 on aggregate, and subsequently beat Bayern Munich in the final.
Mourinho is likely to sit in the stands after he was sent off during last week's 2-0 defeat to Barca at the Bernabeu.
The coach was given his marching orders after contesting the decision to dismiss Pepe for a challenge on Dani Alves midway through the second half.
