Capello brings Barcelona penalty into question and makes proposal to improve VAR

Ex-Milan coach Fabio Capello spoke to Sky Sport about the Barcelona versus Lyon game of yesterday as he had this to say on the matter:

'Barcelona penalty-kick? Well I think that Luis Suarez was looking for the penalty kick. He put his foot over the defender's foot so I think that he was looking for the contact but it's not easy to see.

Sometimes you need to have played the game to understand certain dynamics. That's what I would do. The best way to catch a cheater is to put an ex-cheater on the case, someone who understands what it is like to cheat. I think this would help the VAR efficiency a lot but let's see how it goes in weeks to come...'. More to come...
