We do not know if the VAR will bring so much controversy in the UEFA Champions League as the one who is accumulating in LaLiga Santander, but the case is that in the maximum continental competition of clubs already has begun to use , from this round of eighth of final. The Rome-Carry, contested in the Olympic this Tuesday, went the party in which it used for the first time in the history of the League of Champions.
It ran the minute 79 of party when the referee of the meeting, Danny Makkelie, detained momentáneamente the crash to consult to his mates of the system of review, Pol go Boekel and Kamphuis Jochem, if the marked goal by Adrián in favour of the Carry was legal. They existed doubts on if the Spanish forward was or no offside, but the VAR determined that his position was valid.
It did not do fault that Makkelie reviewed the played in the monitors on foot of field, but simply his mates confirmed him the validity of the so much, and did not doubt in doing it go up to the marker so that the Carry planted 2-1 and reduced distances, therefore, in an eliminatory very opened of face to the party of turn, that will contest of here to some weeks in Do Dragao.

In LaLiga Santander lately is winning some detractores... But what is clear is that it benefits more than prejudices.
