Tottenham defeated Liverpool in questionable circumstances on Saturday.
Ange Postecoglou’s team benefited from a questionable VAR decision that incorrectly disallowed Luis Diaz’s goal.The VAR incident has only become worse since the audio of Stockley Park and the referee’s conversations was leaked.
This prompted Jurgen Klopp to demand that the game be replayed, resulting in a tremendous meltdown from all fanbases.
As you might expect, nobody is acting sensibly at the moment, and there have been numerous calls from the Tottenham Hotspur team for the 2019 Champions League final to be replayed, with both Jan Vertonghen and Jamie Carragher weighing in on the potential argument.
What many people don’t understand is that the VAR audio from the 2019 Champions League final is widely available, and it depicts a very different picture than the occurrence this weekend.
Whatever you think of the iconic Sissoko handball, the officials involved were sure that they were ‘100% correct’.
Of course, the handball rule has since changed, but at the time, this was the correct judgement, and therefore cries for this game to be replayed are a little deceptive.Of course, Klopp’s argument for a rematch of this weekend’s game is also fairly ludicrous, but he has more right to do so than any Spurs supporter over the 2019 Champions League final.
That Sissoko handball was a contentious call, but the referees on the day were certain they were making the correct judgement. However, with the Diaz goal, they made a clear and obvious error, which they realised shortly after the incident.
Tottenham vs. Liverpool should probably not be repeated, but this weekend’s game has a much greater case for being replayed than the 2019 Champions League final.
