"Told him ..."
Rose comforts crying linesman after CL exit
Great gesture from Marco Rose! Immediately after the 48-year-old had to bow out of the Champions League with RB Leipzig following a 3:2 defeat against Aston Villa, he comforted a crying linesman. Rose revealed the reason for the official's emotions a little later.
"I asked him what was going on. He said that he'd played his last game today, he's 49 years old. We just brought him a jersey," the Leipzig coach told the German newspaper Bild.
Taking part in the 2022 World Cup
Alessandro Giallatini has been a FIFA referee since 2013 and has officiated at the 2020 European Championship and the 2022 World Cup, among others. "I congratulated him and told him that he now has a little more time, that he should use it profitably and take care of his family," Rose continued.
The former Salzburg player's Champions League exit was sealed yesterday. With zero points from six games so far, the Saxons have no chance of reaching the top 24 in their remaining two games.
