Who is Anthony Taylor, the referee for PSG vs Juventus?

Taylor is a FIFA listed referee and is expected to officiate at this year’s World Cup.

Anthony Taylor will referee the Champions League Group H fixture between PSG and Juventus in Paris on Tuesday.

Taylor is a FIFA listed referee and has taken charge of many big games since he joined the Premier League in 2010 - including the Championship play-off final, UEFA Super Cup and Nations League final.

The 43-year-old is expected to officiate at this year’s World Cup.

A recent petition started by Chelsea supporters in the aftermath of the Tottenham clash collected more than 140,000 signatures since it was posted online. But the Premier League refused to bow to any pressure by keeping faith with Taylor.

The online petition was posted to have Taylor banned from officiating Chelsea games. The organisers of the petition have highlighted several controversial refereeing decisions dating back several years, not just Sunday’s calls.

“Anthony Taylor has continued to make big decisions against Chelsea over the years in big matches,” claimed the organisers of the petition. “Taylor has an agenda against Chelsea and should not be allowed to referee a game involving the club again.”
