Sergei Karasev Will be the referee of the FC Barcelona-Arsenal

Already it knows who will be the referee commissioned to arbitrate the FC Barcelona-Arsenal of this Wednesday in the Camp Nou, in relative party to the turn of the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League 2015-16. The elected by the UEFA is not another that Sergei Karasev, a referee that only has pitado previously to the Barça in an occasion, and that has fame to be used to decant the parties to the local teams, as it gives off of his statistics.

Karasev, that is one of the 18 referees selected by the UEFA of face to the Eurocopa of France 2016, already arbitrated to the FC Barcelona against the Celtic of Glasgow in the Camp Nou (6-1), in the meeting that served so that Neymar Jr annotated his first "hat-trick" with the T-shirt blaugrana. To his 36 years, Karasev is international from 2010 and has directed already 13 commitments of Champions League.

Never it has pitado previously to the Arsenal of Wenger, and has directed a total of 44 parties regarding distinct tournaments of the European panorama, are of Champions, Europe League or another competition. Of the 56 international meetings that has directed Karasev, besides, has signalled 14 penaltis in favour of local groups and so only 6 in favour of teams visitors, whereas it has taught four red cards to local players and nueves to footballers visitors, what suggests that it treats of a slightly home-made referee "", in a characteristic that definitely could favour to the FC Barcelona in this turn of eighth of Champions League.

In spite of everything, fits recalcar that the ones of Luis Enrique have already practically sentenced the eliminatory, and that for the time being seems complicated that the Arsenal, with the staff "gunner" touched so much physical as emotionally after having fallen in chambers of FA Cup, can plant face to a team that this season so only has yielded a tie in the Camp Nou (against the Sportive of the Coruña in League BBVA). In any case, all the parts expect that the arbitration of Karasev was just and adapted to a party of such calibrate.
