Zwayer, 43, will be calling the shots at the Parc des Princes as both sides vie to reach the final in Munich on Saturday, May 31. But the referee, highly rated by UEFA, has a tainted history.
As a young official in 2005, Zwayer accepted a £250 bribe from fellow referee Robert Hoyzer. Zwayer served a six-month ban while Hoyzer received a two-year five-month prison sentence and was banned from any role in football for life.
