The Champions League final referee will be the youngest yet

Viktor Kassai: Does not take guff from Sergio Busquets.

Howard Webb became the youngest Champions League final referee last year at age 38 and on Saturday he will lose that record when 35-year-old Hungarian Viktor Kassai takes charge of this year's final.

So will Kassai be working for the UNICEF conspiracy or does he sing "Glory Glory Man United" in the shower? Here's what the Guardian says about him:

Kassai is highly regarded within refereeing and has a reputation for letting the game flow. He refereed the World Cup semi-final between Spain and Germany last summer [as well as the U.S.'s loss to Ghana] and has taken charge of four Champions League matches this season, including United's 1-0 win in Valencia in the group stages. [...]

Kassai, who speaks fluent English and German but not Spanish, has been a Fifa referee since 2003. He has officiated at more than 60 Uefa matches and he took charge of the 2008 Olympic final.

He speaks English but not Spanish and has a reputation for keeping his cards in his pocket. Advantage Man United because they might get away with playing more physical? Or advantage Barcelona because he won't be able to understand what Busquets says? Hard to say. Then again, maybe this will be one of those rare matches where no one notices the ref and the post-match discussion isn't dominated by irate calls for technology. Hahaha imagine that!
