Lyon may file a complaint with UEFA regarding referee selection for the match against Manchester City in the Champions League

Lyon may appeal against UEFA’s decision to appoint a chief referee for the match against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals, Goal reports.

The 37-year-old will serve the match Danny McCelli, a former police officer in the Netherlands. At the same time, the match between Lyon and Manchester City may be important for Ajax Amsterdam. Should Manchester City win the Champions League, Ajax will automatically advance to the group stage of next season’s Champions League. However, if Lyon win the tournament, Ajax will have to go through the qualifying playoffs, which could put them in danger of losing a huge amount of money if they then fail to qualify.

It is reported that if Lyon does decide to file a complaint, then the referees can change. The match between Lyon and Manchester City will take place on 15 August.
