The 40 year old Turkish official was the referee for the 2015 Berlin final when Barcelona saw off Serie A side Juventus with a 3-1 win and was also the fourth official in Lisbon for the 2014 final as Real Madrid overcame city rivals Atlético in extra time.
The Turk has officiated Real Madrid on six occasions and just whistled an Atleti match on one occasion as "Los Rojiblancos" lost to Bayern at the Allianz Arena but advanced to the Milan final in 2016.
