Roma president James Pallotta blasted the lack of VAR last night after failing to reach the Champions League final.
Roma defeated Liverpool 4-2 on Wednesday night, but lost 7-6 on aggregate.
“It's absolutely clear that VAR is needed in the Champions League, because you can't let stuff like this go," Pallotta told reporters in the mixed zone.
“You can all look at it yourself. Dzeko wasn't offside, got taken down for a penalty. At the 65th minute, there was a handball that was obvious to everybody in the world except those on the pitch. In the 67th minute Schick gets taken down in the box, I mean it's just…
“I know it's difficult to ref, but it's really embarrassing when we lose on aggregate like that… By the way, it should've been a red card, so would've been 10 men from the 63rd minute.
“Again, congratulations to Liverpool, they're a great team, but if we don't get VAR in the Champions League, stuff like this is an absolute joke."
