Sinds dit seizoen wordt er in de Champions League ook een VAR gebruikt, maar net als vaak in de Jupiler Pro League zorgt dat vooral voor veel controverse. Ook dinsdagavond was get weer prijs. Manchester City kreeg tegen Tottenham na tussenkomst van de VAR een penalty toegekend wegens een handsbal, terwijl enkele minuten later in Liverpool een identieke fase niet bestraft werd.
Op Twitter uitte zowat iedereen dan ook zijn onvrede over het huidige systeem.
Not what VAR should be used for. Never a clear and obvious error. Justice done... in my opinion,

Seems fair to say, at this stage, that in the CL - with handballs, at least - clear and obvious isn't how it's being implemented. They're going to review every instance, and as a rule, once they're reviewed, they're going to give them. (Rightly or wrongly) https://t.co/OaqefjWP9A

VAR consulted at Anfield. No Porto penalty for a handball. Inconsistent? #LIVFCP #LIVPOR #UCL pic.twitter.com/g3LNSTBzp9

Really not sold on the way VAR is being implemented. Use of technology is a good thing but there's something really jarring about a system which gives a decision like that penalty in retrospect - one barely anyone in the ground saw or many (if any) players actually appealed for.

We have the best referee in the world out here. He didn’t see a penalty...

VAR did. Some guys in a track suit in a bus outside the stadium responsible for VAR saw it
