Colombo will referee (again) at the Olimpico. With Sassuolo and Lazio they were KO

Amulets in hand and propitiatory dances underway… let’s hope that the saying “there’s no two without three…” will be disproved.

Because the referee of the big match at the Olimpico will be Andrea Colombo, already on the pitch during the seasonal away games against Reggio Emilia (4-2 for Sassuolo) and against Lazio (1-0 for the Biancocelesti).

Among other things, the ones just mentioned are the only Juventus precedents with Colombo away from home.

There is another cross in the pages of the almanacs, 2022-2023 year, Spezia arrived at the Stadium and it was a victory with a score of 2-0.

Roma have met Colombo 4 times in the championship. Undefeated, she has 3 successes and 1 X sign. Not only that. In half of these matches he kicked 1 penalty: at Torino in 2022-2023, hosting Lecce in this tournament.

In the championship now coming to an end, Colombo has collected 15 caps with a balance of 8 home successes, 2 X signs, 5 victories for those who were away. He showed 85 yellow cards, sanctioned 6 expulsions and conceded 3 penalties (all in favor of the home team).

We conclude by pointing out that the referee of the AIA Como Section in the 2023-2024 Serie A has directed several big matches (Napoli-Lazio, Roma-Napoli…) including the Milan-Inter scudetto derby a few weeks ago.
