Football supporters have questioned the credibility of VAR following the recent Bayern Munich vs PSG match.
During the game, PSG defenders were guilty of handball on two occasions, but both the referee and VAR ignored the incidents, sparking widespread criticism from fans and former players alike.
Many on social media have suggested that the decisions were part of a plan to eliminate Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid from reaching the final.
VAR is meant to assist referees in avoiding mistakes and clarifying incidents, but it proved costly for Bayern Munich.
The German side suffered three major VAR-related setbacks: a wrongful penalty awarded against them in the first leg, and two clear handballs ignored in the second leg.
PSG will now face Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League final after knocking out Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.
Prior to the matches, PSG manager Luis Enrique had boldly declared his team as the best in the world, a claim he backed up with their impressive semi-final performance.
Bayern Munich dominated possession in the decisive match, but PSG’s defence expertly contained Michael Olise and Luis Díaz, preventing them from equalising and securing PSG’s place in the final.
