González refereeing in 2007.

Manuel Enrique Mejuto González (born April 16, 1965 in La Felguera) is a Spanish football referee. He is known for refereeing two matches in the 2004 UEFA European Football Championship in Portugal. He has also refereed twenty-six UEFA Champions League matches in his career, which include the 2005 Final between Liverpool F.C. and AC Milan. His reputation as a terrible referee was cemented after giving the most bizarre decision that lead to a goal for Italy versus Scotland in a European Championship qualifier on 17th November 2007.

Controversies

  • Euro Qualifers Scotland 1-2 Italy: Giving an injury time freekick to the Italians, when clearly he should have done the opposite, resulting in Italy's 2nd goal, and cruelly ending Scotland's chance of qualifying for Euro 2008.
