The linesman who asked Erling Haaland for his autograph after Manchester City's Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund has been temporarily banned from officiating in his native Romania.
Octavian Sovre was captured on camera in the tunnel after the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final getting his red and yellow cards signed by Dortmund sensation Haaland.
The assistant referee has now been hit with a suspension over the incident despite reports in Romania claiming that Sovre has collected signatures from top footballers for the last five years to help raise funds for an autism centre.
