1:39 Paul Dickov and Kevin Campbell discuss the use of VAR in Manchester City's Champions League win over Schalke Paul Dickov and Kevin Campbell discuss the use of VAR in Manchester City's Champions League win over SchalkeUEFA's chief refereeing officer Roberto Rosetti has responded to criticism over the use of VAR in Manchester City's win over Schalke and says that accuracy is more important than speed when making decisions. Two VAR reviews led to penalties being awarded during Wednesday's Champions League match, which City won 3-2 thanks to Raheem Sterling's 90th-minute winner. Both instances occurred during a period of approximately ten minutes in which a technical issue experienced by the VAR technical supplier impacted the ability to deliver replay images to the pitch-side referee review area. "It must also be underlined that - and as is described in the VAR protocol - accuracy is always in principle more important than speed when reaching a decision. "However, what we ultimately want is correct decisions in such match-changing situations and this is what we got yesterday."
