"Ghost goal" referee Michel to take charge of Champions League final

UEFA confirmed on Monday that Slovakian Michel would be the man in the middle in Moscow, a choice that is unlikely to go down too well at Chelsea.

 The London side were on the wrong end of a controversial decision in the semi-finals in 2005 when Michel ruled that a shot from Liverpool's Luis Garcia had crossed the line.

 Jose Mourinho, the Chelsea manager at the time, described it as a "ghost goal" and refused to accept it was a legitimate goal.

 Michel has refereed at the 2004 European Championships and at the World Cup in 2006.
