“I am a big supporter of VAR and I stay a big supporter of VAR. From my point of view, I watched Dalot take the shot. I saw the ball flying straight from his foot and for me it was clear that it wasgoing way over the bar. There are many things to discuss before taking the decision and I think it’s a 50-50 decision. What makes it super hard is that I had the clear feeling that the shot was not ontarget, and to get rewarded with a penalty, there is no logic.”
