Juventus without a penalty in Florence: 24 VAR errors in 11 rounds
Colombo ignored a clear handball by João Mário in the area and VAR did not step in; a Panorama analysis counts 24 errors in 11 matchdays.
In the 2-2 draw between Fiorentina and Juventus on the 11th matchday, referee Colombo waved away a clear penalty for the Turin side: a handball by João Mário inside the Fiorentina area. VAR did not call the referee to the monitor either.
According to Tuttosport, a Panorama analysis adds up 24 errors that VAR could have corrected in just eleven rounds. Columnist Xavier Jacobelli asks how long the Lissone VAR centre will stay 'frozen' and calls for technology to be used.
Juventus fans are furious and cannot understand how that penalty was not given. The league pauses for the Nations League break, but the refereeing debate stays open.
