From what I can tell it will be this guy's first time reffing a European match. This doesn't fill me with confidence...
"For Namoğlu, criticism toward referee Ümit Öztürk was "the last straw." Öztürk was slammed by Super League side Trabzonspor, which lost to Galatasaray 3-1 last week. It accused the referee of making multiple "mistakes," including not awarding a clear penalty to Trabzonspor when Galatasaray's Marcao stepped on Trabzon player Ekuban's foot.
A photo of Öztürk checking Marcao's fault in the replay footage supplied by the video assistant referee (VAR) has since gone viral.
Namoğlu acknowledged that there have been "mistakes" and referees could make the wrong decision despite the VAR system. He, however, said but it was not deliberate as claimed. "It is about the skills of the referees. You can't finish the career of a referee because of one wrong decision," he said."
