Champions league needs var says guardiola as city gain from comical penalty

The age-old debate about Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the Champions League!

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has once again expressed his frustration with the lack of VAR in the Champions League. His comments come after City's 2-1 win over Olympiakos, where a comical penalty was awarded to City, which Guardiola believes should have been reviewed by VAR.

The penalty in question was awarded to City's Kevin De Bruyne after a clumsy challenge by Olympiakos' Mady Camara. However, replays showed that the contact was minimal and not intentional, leading many to question the decision.

Guardiola was visibly upset with the decision, saying: "I don't understand why VAR is not used in the Champions League. It's a big mistake. The referee made a mistake, and VAR can help to correct it."

He added: "In the Premier League, we have VAR, and it's helping to make the game more fair. But in the Champions League, we don't have it, and it's causing problems."

Guardiola's comments are not new, as he has been a vocal advocate for the use of VAR in the Champions League for some time. He believes that the technology can help to reduce errors and make the game more fair.

However, not everyone agrees with Guardiola's assessment. Some argue that the introduction of VAR would slow down the game and take away from the excitement of the match.

What do you think? Should VAR be introduced in the Champions League, or is it not necessary?
