Champions League Highlights: Patrick Inia's Judicious Debut
Champions League News: Patrick Inia's Major Step
In an exciting turn of events, Patrick Inia is set to debut in the Champions League on Thursday, serving as an assistant referee in the highly anticipated match between AS Monaco and FC Barcelona. The European football body, UEFA, has appointed Inia to assist referee Allard Lindhout.
At 31 years old, Inia is not new to European competitions, previously officiating in Europa League and Conference League matches as well as EURO qualifiers. He is notably the fourth referee from Friesland to be assigned to the Champions League, joining the ranks of Erwin Zeinstra, Hessel Steegstra, and Jan de Vries.
Meanwhile, SC Cambuur continues to struggle, failing to secure a victory in their new Kooi Stadion, resulting in a 0-0 draw against Roda JC. This leaves Cambuur in the nineteenth position in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, still searching for their first home goal this season.
Upcoming Matches and Referees
- Patrick Inia makes his Champions League debut.
