Who is not confused after watching this... Italian female linesman: I am always discriminated against in my profession because I am too good-looking.

According to the Daily Star, Italian beauty linesman Nicolosi talked about the impact of her appearance on her career.

The 45-year-old female linesman Nicolosi has officiated more than 200 professional men's and women's football matches in her career, including the 2019 Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool.

Nicolosi said: "All my referee colleagues and match directors told me: you have to keep a low profile, you are too visible. One year, I was not promoted from Serie C to Serie B because I was too 'visible', and I almost gave up. I left Italy at the age of 20 because I realized that they did not want female referees.

I never gave up. That's why it took me so long to make a career. Players pursued me, it did happen, but I never said yes. I'm not the kind of person who dreams of being engaged to a football player.

Whether I'm facing Mbappe or Salah, it's the same for me."
