Referee Daniele Orsato was caught on camera crying after blowing the final whistle in PSG\u2019s Champions League semi-final defeat to Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

Mats Hummels\u2019 header in the second half sealed a 1-0 win on the night and a 2-0 aggregate victory for the Bundesliga side.<\/p>\n

Orsato, who became a FIFA referee in 2010, was called upon to make some very tough decisions.<\/p>\n

He awarded a free kick and not a penalty to PSG after Hummels appeared to bring down Dembele millimetres before the edge of the home side\u2019s penalty box.<\/p>\n

But there were emotional scenes after the game, as that would be the last time Orsato, 48, would take charge of a Champions League match.<\/p>\n

The Italian official is set to retire after Euro 2024.<\/p>\n

Journalist Henry Winter, writing on X, said: \u201cItalian ref Daniele Orsato showing how to run a game. Supported by VAR rather than governed by it. Strong, applied advantage, and decisive (rightly, quickly changed pen to fk. And Mbappe one prob 50-50). Respected by players.\u201d<\/p>\n
