The system of videoarbitraje has implanted in the big leagues of the old continent, and besides will première in the eliminatory phase of the Champions 2018-19. This yes, to the maximum international competition will arrive with a very specific rule.

One of the big interests of the UEFA is that the technology this very very controlled and delimited, and that's why it is centring his efforts in parking completely the uncertainty that can have with regard to his performance. The organism has gathered in several occasions with clubs, trainers and referees, and treats to clear in the measure of the possible all the points of his application.

In this sense, the Director of Arbitration Roberto Rosetti explained in a meeting with journalists that there will be a light change with regard to the use that does in the domestic tournaments.
