What VAR were saying during the 2019 Champions League final is now very interesting after Klopp’s comments

In debatable circumstances, Tottenham defeated Liverpool on Saturday.

A extremely questionable VAR decision that incorrectly denied Luis Diaz’s goal benefited Ange Postecoglou’s team.

The audio of the conversations between Stockley Park and the referee was made public, which only made the VAR issue worse.

Jurgen Klopp subsequently requested a rematch of the game as a result, which sparked a tremendous fan meltdown from all fanbases.

No one is acting logically right now, as you can guess, and both Jan Vertonghen and Jamie Carragher have voiced their opinions on the possibility of a rerun of the 2019 Champions League final.

The VAR audio from the 2019 Champions League final is easily available, and it depicts the incident this past weekend in a completely different way than what many people seem to be aware of.

Whatever your opinion of the iconic Sissoko handball, the officials involved on the day were confident that they were ‘100% correct’.

It is true that the handball regulation has since altered, but at the time, this decision was the proper one, thus requests for a repeat of the game are a little bit false.

Klopp’s request for a rematch of this weekend’s game is also somewhat absurd, but he does have more standing to make that kind of request than any Spurs supporter does with relation to the 2019 Champions League final.

 

However, with the Diaz goal, the authorities made a glaring and obvious mistake that they instantly realized they had made. The Sissoko handball call was contentious, but the officials on the field were confident they were making the proper call.

Even though a rematch between Tottenham and Liverpool is probably not warranted, there is a lot better case for doing so in this weekend’s match than there was for the Champions League final in 2019.
