UEFA charge Bayern Munich for anti-VAR banners shown in Liverpool defeat

UEFA have charged Bayern Munich for banners shown during their Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

In their 3-1 defeat against Liverpool on Wednesday, supporters unveiled a message that read: "Modern football kills emotion. F*** VAR! F*** UEFA!"

VAR technology has been used in the Bundesliga this season but it has failed to win over those watching from the terraces.

And although they successfully managed to get their frustrations across, Uefa will punish the German champions when it comes down to a hearing on May 16.

To further rub salt in the wound, they were also charged with "kit infringement" after Leon Goretzka wore the wrong shirt.
