Francois Letexier to referee Atlético vs Bayern in UCL
The Frenchman will officiate on Tuesday 3 November at the Metropolitano, and Bayern have lost all three games they have played under him.
The Frenchman Francois Letexier will referee Atlético de Madrid against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, a match to be played on Tuesday 3 November at the Metropolitano, according to Mundo Deportivo. UEFA has picked one of Europe's top referees for this showdown.
It is his second match in this edition of the Champions League: in the previous one he oversaw Real Madrid's 3-4 win in Rome. With Los Rojiblancos he has now refereed three European games, all won by Atlético, and the last two were at the Metropolitano: a 2-1 win over Inter last season and a 3-2 win over Feyenoord in the 2023-2024 group stage.
With Bayern the record is the opposite: in all three matches he has refereed them in competition, they lost, the most recent a 1-0 defeat to Benfica at the 2025 Club World Cup. Jerome Brisard, also French, will be on VAR.
