Guys, the referee for Beşiktaş's Europa League match last night was announced! 🧐 We were all waiting to see who it would be, and the result became quite a hot topic. It turns out the referee for the Atlético Madrid match is coming—his name is Sergio Livre.
What do you think? Is this a good choice, or are they just bringing controversial referees again? Do you think this draw will calm things down a bit? 👀
Is the European referee for Beşiktaş good or bad? Let's discuss!

I saw a similar referee at a tournament last year; he also officiated an Atlético match, but I think he was pretty strict. Maybe they'll say he gives Beşiktaş an advantage, but all I care about is that the game runs smoothly.
We had a similar situation last year during Galatasaray’s match against Napoli. Back then, referee Daniele Orsato was appointed, and some people said he left his mark on the game, while others called it a scandal. There was a feeling that Orsato’s arrival raised the refereeing standards a bit, but wasn’t it still debatable right up to the final whistle?
Now that Sergio Livre is coming, will we get another “European‑referee quality” performance, or will Beşiktaş face criticism again depending on how the match unfolds? It seems like calling in referees from other leagues has become a bit of a “trial run,” doesn’t it? What do you think—do you agree?
I remember the matches Benavece refereed in last year’s French Cup. Whenever that referee was in charge of games involving Turkish teams, it always sparked debate. I’m not sure if it was because of a scoring advantage or unfair calls, but he always had a reputation that made people look at the pitch with suspicion.
It seems the same kind of stuff keeps happening to Beşiktaş. When Sergio Livre showed up, is it the same storyline? Contrasting referees always get the same reaction. Hopefully this draw will give us a breather, at least bring some fresh stuff to the market.
