German referee Felix Zwyer will be in charge of Inter Milan’s Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade this week.
This is confirmed by UEFA, via FCInterNews. The experienced referee will head up an all-German refereeing crew, with Bastian Dankert on VAR duty.
On Tuesday, Inter will play their second match of the season in the Champions League.
The Nerazzurri face Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade.
Inter got their Champions League campaign off to an impressive start. They secured a point away to Manchester City, going toe-to-toe with the Premier League juggernauts for a goalless draw.
Meanwhile, Red Star lost their opener in Europe’s top club competition.
The Serbian side hosted Benfica, falling to a 1-2 defeat despite a frenetic late push.
Inter will hardly be underestimating their opposition on Tuesday, however.
Red Star are currently top of the Serbian league table. They have won eight matches, drawn one, and lost none in the league.
This season has marked a significant change to the format for the Champions League.
Rather than six group stage matches home and away to three teams, Inter are facing eight different teams.
The Nerazzurri have some momentum to build on in Europe after their clash with City.
But now Inter must keep it up in Tuesday’s match against Red Star.
