The fourth official in Dortmund will be Jesus Gil Manzano, who was at the heart of one of the most controversial La Liga decisions this season, when he blew for full-time of Real Madrid’s 2-2 draw at Valencia, seconds before Bellingham headed the ball into the goal. Manzano would then send off the England star following his protests.
The VAR for Turkey vs Portugal will be German Bastian Dankert, who has been FIFA-listed since 2014. Dankert works as a marketing director and sports scientist outside from his referee duties.
