Rafa Yuste strongly criticizes the VAR system: "It's a disgrace!"

Rafa Yuste, who temporarily performs the duties of the president of the "Barcelona" football club, has made a strong statement regarding referee decisions. He stated that waiting eight minutes for an offside decision on one episode is unacceptable and that this damages the reputation of football.

İdman.Biz reports that R. Yuste said this in a statement to the Spanish media.

He called what happened a "disgrace" and emphasized that, on behalf of the club management, they would not ignore the issue.

According to him, an explanation will be requested from official bodies to prevent such cases from happening again.

It should be noted that we are talking about the long-term investigation of the VAR system. Although the video assistant referee (VAR) system in modern football is used to more accurately assess controversial episodes, excessive delays in decisions often cause dissatisfaction. In particular, the process of drawing lines in offside episodes and checking the positions of players with centimeter accuracy can take time.

Yuste's statement has brought back the discussions about referee management and the effectiveness of VAR procedures in the football community. The club is expected to officially appeal to the authorities in the coming days.
