Referee Mazic is 45 years old this year, becoming an international referee in 2009. This 2017-20 season, he started 4 matches in the UEFA Champions League and 2 matches in the Europa League. In addition, he honked in the 2017 Confed Cup final between Chile and Germany.
With superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, he does not have good memories with this Serbian referee. At the VCK World Cup 2014 in Brazil, referee Mazic was in charge of the match between Germany and Portugal.
In that match, Portuguese centre-back Pepe was sent off in the 39th minute for Thomas Muller's carelessness. At the beginning of the match, he awarded DT Duc a penalty because he thought Mario Gotze was fouled by Joao Pereira in the penalty area.
For that reason, Cristiano Ronaldo had reactions expressing disagreement with referee Mazic's decisions. In the end, Portugal lost 0-4 to Germany and partly led to them being eliminated from the tournament right after the group stage.
However, Real Madrid have benefited from this referee's decision. In the 2016 European Super Cup match between the "White Vultures" and Sevilla, he gave a second yellow card to Timothee Kolodziejczak of the Andalusia team in the 93rd minute. After that, coach Zidane and his team had a 3-2 victory after 120 minutes.
For Liverpool, referee Mazic started the match between them and Man United in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 in the 2015-16 season. With a 1-1 draw in this match, The Kop defeated Man United with a total score of 3-1 after 2 matches.
In the UEFA Champions League final in the early morning of May 27, Mr. Milovan Ristic and Dalibor Djurdjevic (serbia) will be the two assistant referees for Mr. Mazic. Along with that, Mr. Clement Turpin (France) is the fourth referee.
In another development, this season's Europa League final between Marseille and Atletico Madrid will be dominated by Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers.
