The referee for the **Paris SG vs Arsenal** Champions League 2026 final has been announced as 42-year-old German ref **Daniel Siebert**, and somewhat interestingly, English clubs have won all five games refereed by him in the Champions League this season.
Siebert also refereed the **Youth League final** between PSG and Chelsea 10 years ago (back in **2016**)- CFC won that game 2-1.
