In May, Clattenburg refereed the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. He becomes only the second referee after Pedro Proenca in 2012 to officiate at both the Champions League and European championships finals. On Sunday he will be assisted by two English assistants, Simon Beck and Jake Collin.
