WARNING OVER WHISTLER CAKIR

TURKISH referee Cuneyt Cakir will take charge of tomorrow’s semi-final.

The 41-year-old officiated at Barcelona’s 2015 Champions League final 3-1 win over Juventus, and also oversaw the Holland versus Argentina last-four clash in Brazil four years ago.

Cakir (right) also refereed Sir Alex Ferguson’s last match in the Champions League in 2013, provoking the Scot’s anger after sending off Nani in the last-16 defeat to Real Madrid.

Prior to the match the Man Utd boss had told his staff he was concerned

Cakir had a tendency to send off players of English teams having dismissed seven – including John

Terry, Gary Cahill and Steven Gerrard – but never from teams playing against them.

Cakir has been involved in controversy at this World Cup – Nigeria wanted a penalty in their 2-1 defeat to Argentina but the incident was not reviewed by officials.
