Barca leading 0-1 with a hop and a skip and a jump penal from Lewandowski that just barely made it in.

Interesting case in Firenze: Cabral had a header parried away on the goal line. Nobody thought it was in, other than the referee's wrist thingie, so he awarded the goal. Only then, VAR intervened and decided that the goal-line technology had failed, the
ball had not crossed the line, and called the goal off.

No matter, Saponara makes it 2-2, restoring Fiorentina's 4 goal advantage in the tie

Maybe it’s finally time for me to get glasses but I really struggled to see where the offside was? If someone was offside it must have been by a very fine margin.

VAR is a good concept executed badly if goals like this are being chalked off. Let’s get back to giving the attacker the benefit of the doubt.

I'm genuinely struggling with how the VAR panel gave this as offside? If anything the Basel defender's arm seems to be ahead of Denswil?

The arm doesn't count, and you can't really see the position of Denswil's foot from that angle. Terribly unlucky for Trabzonspor

Still struggling to see how you can say either player's foot is further forward than the other and I guess that's kind of the point - if the calls are that marginal then VAR needs to leave well alone and let the goals stand.

This match isn't the only example, the over zealous way VAR is being implemented isn't within the spirit of the sport. I'm not sure if the "clear and obvious error" rule was changed or is just being ignored by the VAR panels but that version of VAR was
an example of video evidence adding value to the game.
