Tomorrow evening the Champions League will return to the stage with the last day of the league phase, which will see as many as 18 matches played simultaneously. Among these, all eyes are on Borussia Dortmund–Inter, a match that will be decisive for the Nerazzurri to determine their final position with a view to the playoffs, due to the very slim chances of direct qualification to the round of 16.
As announced by Uefa, the match between Borussia Dortmund-Inter on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, will be officiated by Istvan Kovacs. The well-known Romanian referee will be assisted by Mihai Marica and Ferencz Tunyogi, with Szabolcs Kovacs as the fourth official. VAR will instead be entrusted to the Dutchman Rob Dieperink and the Pole Tomasz Kwiatkowski as AVAR.
The last meeting between Kovacs and Inter brings back very bad memories for Nerazzurri fans: it was in fact the Romanian referee who officiated last May 31 the Champions League final in Munich between Psg-Inter, which ended with a score of 5-0 for the French side. The Nerazzurri, moreover, with Kovacs have collected two wins and a draw, all in the Champions League.
