Swedish, 34 years old, Glenn Nyberg – the referee chosen by UEFA for Arsenal-Bayern – has been refereeing matches in the Swedish Fotbollsallsvenskan championship since October 2013. Since 2016 he has been included in the list of FIFA referees and referees international matches. In the 2020/21 season, Nyberg took charge of matches in the Europa League for the first time, while in the 2022/23 season he refereed matches in the Champions League for the first time. Furthermore, he has already refereed matches in the Nations League, in the European qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and friendly matches. Let’s see how she did yesterday.
Nyberg’s history with Arsenal and Bayern
The Swedish referee had previously managed Bayern once and Arsenal once. He brought the Germans luck in the 4-3 draw with Manchester United in the group stage and also to the Londoners who with him refereeing won 2-1 away against Sevilla.
The referee cautioned 3 players
Assisted by assistants Beigi and Soderqvist, with Ladebaeck fourth man, van Boekel al Var and Higler at Avar, the referee cautioned three players: Davies (B), Kane (B), Partey (A)
Arsenal-Bayern, i casi da moviola
These are the dubious episodes. The referee’s big mistake happened when David Raya and Gabriel made a defensive mess that could have had far more serious consequences. The Gunners goalkeeper was ready to put the ball back into play for a goal kick from his six yard box. Nyberg blows the whistle to start the game, Raya sees Gabriel stationed next to him in the penalty area and passes the ball to him. The Arsenal defender, obviously distracted, stops the ball with his hands and moves it. Gabriel bends down to stop the ball and then starts the action with his feet. On the pitch Harry Kane is the first to pointlessly draw the referee’s attention. Gabriel stopped the ball with his hands after being served by goalkeeper Raya, committing a foul. The referee should have awarded a penalty for Bayern Monk. Instead, adjust the penalty awarded to the Germans for a clear foul by Saliba on Sanè. The referee did well even with 20 seconds to go, Saka was very good at extending his pace to anticipate Neuer: the swerve on the German goalkeeper ended with a fall, but the referee Genn Nyberg was well positioned and opted to let it continue the game.

For Cesari the referee is promoted
Graziano Cesari focuses only on this last episode in the Champions special on Canale 5 and on the refereeing of Arsenal-Bayern, he says: “At the end the referee was very good at not awarding the penalty to Arsenal, you see Saka moving his leg to look for contact with the goalkeeper and then goes to the ground. Nyberg he was positioned very well and lets you play. Also good at not booking Kane for a foul which the English protested about, the game was played according to the advantage rule but there was no yellow card because it was a normal foul play.”
