Pierluigi Collina is an Italian former football referee. He was named FIFA’s “Best Referee of the Year” six consecutive times and is widely considered to be the best football referee of all time.

The players from Brazil and Germany have congratulated him on his performance.
He was ruthless with his cardboard, charismatic and respected.
