Lliga | Round 34: Villarreal CF - FC Barcelona 1-4

[Givenchy]

VAR has ruined football honestly

absolutely. we see with Madrid it also makes no difference if refs aren't gonna check it.

Americanization of football

Setien seems like a coward, he's making proactive changes, being more expansive... After the league is over. Why not before? Of course, blame the players too. But why was suarez not taken off in earlier games for example? Fati on with more than 5 minutes to spare?

Vidal was and is a horror show this match

 

[FCBfan22]

Puig looks like Pique's firstborn.

 

[Flavius]

Think Messi has the most VAR ruled out goals in history.

 

[Latschenkiefer]

Rakitic

CL is a month from now right? Napoli game?

This can?t continue like this
We?ve reached a point now that when a team scores, we look for ways to take away the goal by VAR. this is not football.
If you need little lines and geometric angles, it shouldn?t not take away a goal, it should be for obvious offsides and fouls only. This is ridiculous!!

 

[serghei]

This was legit disallowed. Offside is offside.

Yes and we can do well if the manager is and is allowed to be ballsy

It was the correct decision. VAR gets a bit annoying when it takes too much time (like Vidals narrow offside), but still more preferable than the shitshow pre VAR.

 

[Neeraj]

Yeah i agree. VAR was meant for obvious, big decisions. Now each time a goal is scored there's this wait which ruins it. Add to that, there's no consistency in what is checked and when, and this is really ruining the game. I'm. Okay with VAR but not it's implementation.

VAR is fine and wa slong due. It's jus tnot efficient still. Hopefully once refs get more comfortable with it then decisions can be made quicker instead of taking 2-3 minutes.

 

[Sweden]

I think Messi needs one more assist for a season best. Tied now.
Last seasons (if he stays) will proberbly look like that, less goals more assists.

 

[FCBfan22]

Considering that we lost league a few seasons ago thanks to no goal-line technology and shitshows from Spanish refs, I think we should be happy with VAR.
