Final assistant referee pictured in Barcelona shirt
OSLO, May 16 (Reuters) - Assistant referee Ole Hermann Borgan admits he was stupid to pose for newspaper pictures in a Barcelona shirt the day before officiating the Champions League final between the Spanish club and Arsenal.
Borgan, 41, posed in Barcelona's red and blue striped shirt for Tuesday's edition of Norwegian newspaper Drammens Tidende.
"It was both thoughtless and stupid of me," Borgan said afterwards on the newspaper's website.
"I didn't think the situation and consequences through when I was asked to put on the shirt."
He added that posing for pictures in the shirt would not influence his judgement in Wednesday's final in Paris.
