CL referee has no preconceived ideas over Ronaldo

Danish Referee Claus Bo Larsen will take charge of the Champions League semi-final between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Asked if Cristiano Ronaldo's reputation would have an influence on his approach to the match:

"You have to give both teams a clean slate when refereeing," he told Bold.

"I don't believe he will dive.

"I have seen him many times before and have warned him about diving in the past.

"I think you must be careful that you don't come in with certain ideas and make mistakes as a result.

"I'm looking forward to a fair game and will try to do my best."
