On 13 December 2022, Orsato refereed the World Cup semi-final between [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] and [[Croatia]] where he came under fire by [[Ballon d'Or]] winner and Croatia captain [[Luka Modrić]] as "one of the worst" referees, describing his performance in that game as "a disaster".<ref>{{cite news|title=Luka Modric says referee was a 'disaster' in Croatia's World Cup loss to Argentina, wishes Lionel Messi luck|first=Rob |last=Hemingway|url=https://www.eurosport.com/football/world-cup/2022/luka-modric-says-referee-was-a-disaster-in-croatia-s-world-cup-semi-final-loss-to-argentina-wishes-l_sto9273047/story.shtml|work=Eurosport|date=14 December 2022}}</ref>
 
On 7 May 2024, Orsato refereed the second leg of the 20232024 UEFA Champions League semi-final between Paris Saint-Germain and [[Borussia Dortmund]] where he earned praise for his performance on the night, especially his decision to award PSG a free-kick at the edge of the box when a penalty appeared to be the correct call. After the match, Orsato was seen burst into tears at full-time which later confirmed he will retire in the summer after [[UEFA Euro 2024]]. <ref>{{cite news|publisher=SPORTbible|url=https://www.sportbible.com/football/football-news/champions-league/psg-borussia-dortmund-referee-crying-daniele-orsato-386963-20240508|access-date=10 May 2024 | title=The reason why Champions League referee burst into tears after Borussia Dortmund's win over PSG | date=8 May 2024 }}</ref>
 
On 2 June 2024, he refereed his last match in Serie A, [[Atalanta BC|Atalanta]] vs [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] which ended with Fiorentina winning 2-3.
 
In the summer of 2024, Orsato was included in the expert referee commission of the [[Russian Football Union]], but a week later he refused this job. The referee initially explained his decision by ethical considerations, but then admitted that he was offered a more attractive position. He may head the Association of Italian Referees.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rbc.ru/sport/15/08/2024/66be22709a794701ad9c7c64|title=Итальянский судья объяснил уход из РФС другой неожиданной вакансией|language=ru|date=2024-08-15|website=[[RBK Group|RBC]]}}</ref>
