Galatasaray coach unhappy: 'The VAR should have been here, it could have helped the referee...'

Galatasaray's manager, Okan Buruk, expressed great indignation with the refereeing decisions during the match. The Turkish coach criticized the absence of VAR in the situation he considered most controversial.

Okan Buruk argued that the video assistant referee should have intervened and assisted the on-field referee in the decision. For the coach, it was a decisive moment where technology could have prevented an error.

The technical staff member stated that a red card was missed during the match, suggesting that a player should have been sent off and that this situation was not properly sanctioned.

Regarding the penalty, Okan Buruk was clear in stating that the play should not have resulted in a major penalty, considering that the decision was incorrect and harmed his team.
