At San Siro, the emotions that only the Champions League can offer finally return with the match scheduled for Tuesday, January 20 at 9:00 PM between Inter-Arsenal. This is the penultimate day of the group stage, before the last match set for next week at the home of Borussia Dortmund.
As announced by Uefa, the Portuguese João Pinheiro will referee the match between Inter-Arsenal. The 38-year-old referee will be assisted on the field by Bruno Jesus and Luciano Maia, while João Gonçalves will serve as the fourth official. In the VAR room, his compatriot Tiago Martins will be assisted by the Spaniard Carlos del Cerro Grande.
There is only one previous encounter linking João Pinheiro to Inter: the only match refereed by the Portuguese dates back to the victory achieved by the Nerazzurri last season at San Siro against Leipzig in the group stage, thanks to the decisive own goal by Lukeba.
