Bernardo Silva calls for VAR to be introduced in Champions League

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 11 April 2018

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva insists that VAR should be rolled out in the Champions League next season after his side were denied a legitimate goal.

Bernardo Silva has called on Champions League chiefs to introduce VAR from next season following Manchester City's defeat to Liverpool.

A big decision went against the Citizens at a pivotal moment in the tie, as Leroy Sane wrongly had a goal ruled out with the score at 3-1.

Sane was adjudged to have been offside, despite the final touch before he struck home coming off Liverpool player James Milner.

The Reds went on to win 5-1 through a couple of second-half goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, leaving Bernardo to question the integrity of the competition.
