Error in Juventus-Salernitana is ‘the worst of the VAR era’

Sky Sport journalist Fabio Caressa rubbed salt into Juventus‘ wounds, saying that a late Arek Milik winner disallowed against Salernitana was the ‘worst error in the VAR era.’

The Bianconeri have plenty of regrets about a 2-2 draw against Davide Nicola’s side at the Allianz Stadium last night.

Not only had they thrown the first half away, going to the break down to two goals, but once they recovered, they saw a late Milik goal disallowed for offside of Leonardo Bonucci.

The Italian defender believes he was not involved in active play and suggested that VAR didn’t consider Antonio Candreva on the bottom left, who could have kept everyone onside.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Italy international was the last Salernitana defender and kept Bonucci onside, so the goal should have stood.

Caressa, one of the most famous Italian sports journalists, showed the footage during his post-match show ‘Sky Calcio Club.’

“The video is incredible because it shows Candreva keeping Bonucci onside by 50 centimetres,” he said last night, as quoted by TuttoNapoli.

“This is not official VAR, but [if confirmed] it would be the worst and most incredible mistake in the VAR era.”
