Officiating a Champions League quarter-final game is never, especially between two European heavyweights.

Despite Bayern Munich's protests, Scharer was right not to hand the Bavarians a 'soft' penalty in the fifth minute.
Indeed, Alessandro Bastoni wasn't over-zealous when he tackled Michael Olise.
Furthermore, he rightfully refused to award Inter a spot-kick for Kim Min-jae's handball after Hakan Calhanoglu's shot.

Then, he had every right to show Nicola Zalewski a yellow card for a naive challenge early in the second half.
Overall, Scharer handled the pressure well, giving VAR no reason to intervene at any point.

After a lengthy transfer saga, Ademola Lookman has stayed at Atalanta, with Inter Milan pulling out of negotiations. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nigerian forward has joined La Dea's pre-season camp. Despite topping Inter's shopping list, Ademola Lookman will remain in Bergamo next season. Indeed, after seeing their two offers turned down by the Gewiss Stadium club, Inter have pulled the plug on the deal. Therefore, the 27-year-old will reluctantly stay at Atalanta.

Agent Of Marseille & France Midfielder Comments On His Future Amid Inter Milan Links: 'We Will Evaluate Offers From Serie A'
Marseille midfielder Adrien Rabiot could return to Serie A after his representatives offered him to Inter Milan. Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Rabiot's mother-agent Veronique delivered a verdict on her son's future. Despite joining Marseille only last summer, Adrien Rabiot could already be on his way back to Italy. Indeed, the former Juventus star has grown frustrated with life at Stade Velodrome. Following a heated discussion with his teammate, Jonathan Rowe, Rabiot has expressed his desire to leave. Although Roberto De Zerbi sidelined Rowe, the 30-year-old remains keen on severing ties with Marseille. Meanwhile, his entourage has offered his services to Inter. The Nerazzurri refused to sign the Frenchman last summer when his contract at Juventus expired. As it stands, Inter's stance has not changed as they seem unwilling to seize this opportunity. On the other hand, his mother confirms his decision to find a new club. Adrien Rabiot Agent Fuels Exit Speculation Amid Inter Milan Links SALERNO, ITALY – JANUARY 07: Adrien Rabiot of Juventus during the Serie A TIM match between US Salernitana and Juventus at Stadio Arechi on January 07, 2024 in Salerno, Italy. (Photo by) Veronique admitted they will entertain offers from Serie A. However, she left the door open to a potential switch to the Premier League and La Liga. 'From now on, we will only consider serious projects coming from Italy, Spain, and England,' she said. Furthermore, she also dismissed De Zerbi's recent claim that Rabiot had shown unprofessional behavior. 'It came as a shock, because disagreements between players do happen. 'In any case, Italy shouldn't be ruled out, alongside the projects of top clubs in Spain and England,' said the mother-agent. Rabiot has emerged as one of the potential midfield targets for Inter. However, the Italian giants prefer a younger alternative, with Rennes starlet Djaoui Cisse ranking high on their list.
