Who is Yuri Baskakov?
Yuri Valeryevich Baskakov is a former Russian football referee. He refereed games in Champions League and the Russian Premier League.
He controversially oversaw the Champions League quarter-final in 2007 between Bayern Munich and AC Milan over the objections of the German club, who believed that they had suffered against Milan the previous year because of another Russian, Valentin Ivanov's refereeing. Baskakov, according to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, was too inexperienced to manage the pressure-cooker environment of San Siro. The match itself seemed to reflect Rummenigge's concerns, as Baskakov awarded a dubious penalty to Kaká after a challenge from Lucio. Kaká converted the penalty to put Milan ahead.
