🚨🗣️ Luka Modrić on VAR and the penalty: “We deserved much more. Some things didn't go our way. If the situation had been reversed, VAR would NEVER have intervened.
I said from the beginning, when VAR was introduced, that I didn't like it. It's useful for some things, but it's being used incorrectly or selectively. VAR should only intervene if it's a 200% clear mistake.
Today's incident was NEVER a penalty. They were both holding each other and both fell. You can't decide a match like this with a penalty like that.
These things frustrate me because they decide people's fate. They affect your emotions after everything you sacrifice and fight for.
We have young players coming through, and then something like this happens. It hurts, especially because it always seems to go against us. Still, we won't use it as an excuse.”
