Gianluca Rocchi handed Barcelona, Manchester City tie

Experienced Italian official Gianluca Rocchi will referee Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg between Barcelona and Manchester City.

The 41-year-old has been a licensed UEFA and FIFA referee since 2008, while he has officiated Serie A fixtures since 2010.

Rocchi has officiated matches involving Barcelona on three separate occasions, with the Catalan outfit winning each of them, but this will be just the second time that the Italian has taken control of a last-16 clash in the Champions League.

Barcelona will enter the match at the Camp Nou as the favourites to advance into the quarter-finals following a 2-1 victory in the first leg last month.
