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 three UEFA Cup matches and thirty-seven UEFA Champions League matches in his career, which include the 2005 Final between Liverpool F.C. and AC Milan.
González received heavy criticism following a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying match between Scotland and Italy on November 17, 2007.[1] The match ended with an Italian win following González's decision to award Italy a free kick, a decision which was heavily disputed by Scottish sources. This may have cost Scotland a spot in Euro 2008.
