Bad omen? Slavko Vinčić will referee the second leg between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid
FC Bayern haven’t had the best of fortunes when their games have been officiated by the Slovenian.
Yes, he refereed that 4-1 defeat to Barcelona in the UCL group stages.

For such a monumental fixture, it is essential to have the best possible referee—someone impartial and just.
Alas, one can only dream of such things when Real Madrid are involved. Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić will be officiating the game. Vinčić is a referee with a lot of UCL experience under his belt, and Bayern are no strangers to his officiating either.
Here are the previous Bayern games he has been in charge of: Previous Bayern games officiated by Slavko Vinčić Inter 2-2 Bayern (UCL 24/25 Leverkusen 0-2 Bayern (UCL 24/25) Barcelona 4-1 Bayern (UCL 24/25 Bayern 3-0 Lazio (UCL 23/24) Bayern 1-1 Villarreal (UCL 21/22) https://t. co/5C1ZHkX894 pic. twitter.
