VAR is in the spotlight once again in the wake of Barcelona’s first leg Champions League defeat to Atletico in their quarter-final clash at Camp Nou.
Hansi Flick was left furious afterwards as Marc Pubill somehow escaped conceding a penalty and receiving a second yellow card for a handball.
He told Movistar: “I don’t know why VAR hasn’t been used. The referee … I think he’s brilliant. We all make mistakes, but what’s the point of VAR?
“I just can’t understand it. It should have been a penalty, a second
yellow and a red card as he already had a booking. This is exactly what shouldn’t happen.”
Barcelona have since submitted a formal complaint to UEFA in protest at the “grave lack of intervention by VAR” after the incident which they feel was a “major error.”
So today’s Barca Blaugranes Question of the Day is:
How do you feel about VAR? Is it time to make changes, scrap it altogether or something else entirely?
