Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić has been officially appointed to oversee Tuesday’s highly anticipated meeting between Chelsea and Barcelona. His selection brings an experienced and widely respected Champions League official to a match where the stakes are expected to be high.
Vinčić has handled several major European fixtures and is known for his controlled, decisive approach — a style that often shapes the rhythm and intensity of elite-level contests. With both clubs relying on fine margins in their pursuit of victory, his presence adds an important layer to the buildup.
All eyes will now turn to Stamford Bridge, where Vinčić’s decisions and overall game management may play a significant role in the outcome of what promises to be one of the standout matches of the week.
