British ref get Champions League final gig

British referee Howard Webb will take charge of the Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan at the weekend. The 38 year old will head an all-English team officiating at the match at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium with Michael Mullarkey and Darren Cann acting as his linesmen, and Martin Atkinson, who like Webb is a Premier League referee, as the fourth official.

Webb has officiated at 47 UEFA matches in his refereeing career, and is England's only referee at next month's World Cup finals in South Africa.
