Serious note I’m starting to think VAR is a bad choice.
I said it during the World Cup.
VAR just enables the officials to apply their own bias. Another opportunity to review the incident and favour one or the other.
The defender was even moving his arm away from the ball. Turned his back. Did everything to get his arm out of the way. No intent.
All the talk of heroics. Sure, they would have won 2-1 great.. but the true result would have been Utd out 3-2 on aggregate. Now because of a corrupt decision to award a penalty, Utd are victors. Ole a hero. The ref may as well have kicked that in the goal himself. It changes nothing as far as I'm concerned.
