Although "Liverpool" has already reached the UEFA Champions League final, discussions about last week's semifinal are ongoing - the "Roma" team blames the referee for their exit from the tournament.
In the Champions League semifinals, "Roma" lost to "Liverpool" with an aggregate score of 6-7. The "Romans" defeated their opponents at home with a score of 4-2 and were only one goal away from extra time.
After Monchi and Alessandro Florenzi expressed their strong opinion about the refereeing, "Roma" president James Pallotta also joined the discussion.
"It's very clear that the Champions League needs VAR technology, because such things just can't happen," J. Pallotta said after the match.
"Let's look at what happened: Dzeko was called offside when he wasn't. In the 65th minute - a clear handball that the whole world saw, and two minutes later Schick was brought down in the penalty area."
"I know that the referee's job is not easy, but it's very painful to lose such important matches by one goal. Not to mention the incident when the "Liverpool" goalkeeper should have received a red card in the 63rd minute.
Congratulations to "Liverpool", they are a great team, but this match showed the necessity of VAR in the Champions League. Such things are absurd," added the Italian-American.
