📸 Thanks for nothing! CL VAR shows ref the wrong penalty area!

What happened? In the 64th minute, with the score at 0-0, referee Maurizio Mariani awarded a penalty to Liverpool. All of a sudden, the Reds’ big comeback seemed within reach.

But just a few seconds later, the video assistant referee intervened and sent Mariani to the sideline to review the incident on the monitor once again. The images the Italian was then shown, however, were more likely to confuse than help him. Instead of showing the potential foul, VAR provided footage from the other side of the pitch — where, of course, there was absolutely nothing happening at that moment.

In the end, Mariani did get to see the penalty incident after all and overturned his decision, much to the Reds’ detriment. They then conceded two more goals and were knocked out of Europe’s premier competition with little real chance. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
