The worst VAR decision of all time? New angle shows why Juventus are right to be outraged at disallowed Milik winner

  • Milik thought he'd won it for Juve
  • Goal disallowed for offside after VAR review
  • Different angle showed Bonucci was onside

WHAT HAPPENED? Arkadiusz Milik nodded home deep into second-half stoppage time to make it 3-2 to the hosts, and was sent off for his wild celebrations. A few minutes later, after consultation with VAR, his winner was ruled out as Bonucci appeared to be offside - only for an unused angle to show that Antonio Candreva was playing him onside.

WHAT THEY SAID: "We must transform the anger for what we’ve been robbed of into energy for Wednesday. It’s going to be a tough game and we’ll need everyone’s help," Bonucci told reporters.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: This latest incident raised further questions about the use of VAR in football. In recent times, there have been a host of similarly controversial decisions which have led to calls for the technology to be scrapped.
