“If VAR comes into play, we finish 11 against 11, and maybe we don’t win 6–1”, said a supporter as he left the stadium. A harmless sentence, but full of meaning.
In the coming hours, UEFA is expected to issue an official note on the incident. According to our information, the refereeing commission could temporarily suspend the VAR team from this match, for the duration of a “complete review of the protocol”.
One thing is certain: that night, Barcelona won… but VAR lost everything.
And the shadow of this “error” risks hanging over this edition of the Champions League for a long time.
💣 “This is not just an error of judgment, it is an error of trust”, titled The Team this morning. A sentence that perfectly sums up the general feeling.
Football, once again, found itself at the mercy of a frozen screen
