CL Final Comment: The Stats Behind Referee Howard Webb

England's top man in black has already officiated both the finalists this season and has clashed with the 'Special One' before. Goal.com analyses the statistics and match odds behind UEFA's choice for the showpiece occasion...

Englishman Howard Webb will take charge of the Champions League final in what could be the highlight of his career. His appointment ensures there is at least one English representative in the showpiece occasion for a sixth successive season.

UEFA's decision to pick Webb has certainly raised a few eyebrows given his colourful history. The 38-year old former policeman has got the task of laying down the law in the Santiago Bernabeu to the players and Jose Mourinho
who he has clashed with before in a final.

Webb and Mourinho had a run-in during the 2007 Carling Cup final when a mass brawl broke out on the pitch between Arsenal and Chelsea. Both Arsene Wenger and Mourinho ran onto the pitch to intervene and Webb flashed three red cards - a record for a league cup final. The Portuguese tactician may see Webb as a lucky omen as the Blues went on to win that match and Webb was also the man in the middle when Chelsea won the Community Shield in 2005.

* Red Card in Champions League Final Odds
Yes 3.25 (9/4), No 1.30 (3/10)

On the European front Webb has officiated 47 UEFA games including 19 in the Champions League. This season he has been in charge of six CL matches and given a total of 26 yellow cards (average of 4.3 a game) but as of yet not a single red.

Webb has already refereed both of Sunday's finalists. Back in September he was in charge for Bayern's goalless home draw with Juventus where he handed out three yellow cards all to the visitors from Turin. He officiated Inter's 1-0 quarter-final home win over CSKA Moscow and cautioned Marco Materazzi after 12 minutes in a match where three names entered the book.

Of the four matches involving Italian teams that he has been in charge of Webb has given a total 15 bookings. Nine of those have been given to the Serie A outfit with six for their opponents.

Inter have picked up more bookings than any other side in the competition with 31 to Bayern Munich's 21. Inter have also committed 183 fouls to Bayern's 153 and are second only to Lyon who notched up 185.

* First Card Odds
Inter 1.85, Bayern Munich 1.85 (17/20)

* Number of Yellow Cards (1st Half)
Over 1.5 - 1.75 (3/4), Under 1.5 - 1.95 (19/20)

* Number of Yellow Cards (90 mins)
Under 4.5 - 1.68 (17/25) - Over 4.5 - 2.07 (107/100)

News of Webb's appointment has inevitably triggered memories of some of his controversial decisions. He awarded a 'brave' late penalty to Austria against Poland in the depths of injury time in Euro 2008 prompting fury from Poland's then coach Leo Beenhakker.

In 2009, he inadvertently set up a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup against local rivals Birmingham City and said afterwards it was the 'lowest point' of his career. He recently incurred the wrath of Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill by refusing to award his side a penalty against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final. However, he has yet to award a penalty in the Champions League this season.

* Penalty Awarded: NO 1.30 (3/10), Penalty Awarded: YES 3.30 (23/10)

In total this season Webb has officiated 42 games giving a total of 153 yellow cards and four red cards. Two of those came in a bad tempered Premiershit match between Wolves and Wigan where he also handed out nine bookings and gave a penalty.

UEFA's choice is a no nonsense individual who isn't afraid of making tough calls. Dubbed 'Pierluigi Collina light' by some due to his bald head and imposing stature Webb knows a good showing in Europe's showpiece will aid his quest of featuring in the latter stages of the World Cup where he will also be officiating.

Whatever he does at the Bernabeu everybody will be watching whether he gets it right or wrong.

Rassegna stampa
« | » Finale Champions L'Italia che tifa contro

15:24 del 22 maggio

Su La Stampa, a firma di Massimo Gramellini, un corsivo sull'Italia che, questa sera nella finale di Champions League fra Inter e Bayern, tiferà contro i nerazzurri.

Stasera milioni di italiani saliranno sull’apposito trespolo montato davanti al televisore e, brandendo idealmente un piatto di crauti, tiferanno contro la squadra del loro Paese impegnata a contendere la Coppa dei Campioni (o come diavolo si fa chiamare adesso) al Bayern di Monaco. Milanisti gelosi, romanisti delusi, juventini offesi. Tutti bavaresi per una notte, in attesa di inondare di birra le piazze d’Italia per festeggiare la non-festa dei detestati rivali. Bavaresi e autolesionisti, dal momento che una sconfitta dell’Inter ridurrebbe il numero delle partecipanti italiane alla prossima edizione della coppa. Odio, cosa non si fa per te. (...)

C’entrano la faziosità e il sadismo di cui è intriso l’animo umano: basta accendere la tv a qualsiasi ora per incontrarlo. I tedeschi la chiamano «schadenfreude», gioia per le disgrazie altrui. Noi non abbiamo una parola per descriverla, solo dei gesti. La differenza è che gli altri popoli si vergognano di esibirla. Qui invece ne andiamo orgogliosi e contrabbandiamo l’esposizione dei nostri succhi gastrici per manifestazione di goliardia. Attenti, però: gli italiani sono imprevedibili e inafferrabili persino nei loro umori, come ben sa chiunque abbia avuto la sventura di firmare accordi con noi per poi vederci finire le guerre dalla parte opposta a quella in cui le avevamo incominciate.

good luck to your boys, gentlemen.

i don't think i'll be rooting for you, for obvious reasons.

but your team has worked exceptionally hard to get so far, and whatever the result is you can be very proud of them.

[RomaShield27]

I will be cheering for inter and hope they win. For calcio. Best of luck tonight lads.

[Messinterista]

[Messinterista]

[Messinterista]

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA GRANDE! INTER! GRANDE MOURINHO! GRANDE MORATTI! FORZA INTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RomaShield27]

Congrats lads, well done.

[Messinterista]

cheers shield.

Anyone see Mou head to the tunnel pretty quickly? O well, it was inevitable. We've got what we wanted. Thanks Jose!!! You truly are special.

[RomaShield27]

I think Mourinho will stay. He was pretty emotional there at the end, and zanetti grabbed him after during the celebrations and gave him a long hug and had some words in his ear, I bet you he was telling him he must stay. I think he will.

[Italiamia]

Way to keep up those coefficients. You made Ennio very happy.
