Back to Marciniak, in April he became the first Pole to referee the semi-final of the Champions League. It was his eighth match in this competition in the 2021/2022 season.

Up to now in Qatar 2022 he has directed two matches, just for France and Argentina: the first against Denmark in the group stage and the second against Australia in the round of 16.
