Jose Mourinho will be furious with referees again, as the lack of VAR in the Europa Conference League denied Roma two penalties against Bodo/Glimt.
The first incident occurred when the Norwegians were 1-0 up at the Stadio Olimpico.
Stephan El Shaarawy went to head a cross, but it was taken away from him by Brede Moe’s arm.
It would’ve been a penalty if VAR had been called upon, but there is no Video Assistant Referee in the Europa Conference League group phase.
The second happened when the Norwegians were 2-1 up.
Mourinho had already been protesting at referees and decisions that went against Roma in Serie A over the last few weeks.
He complained the officials showed a ‘lack of respect’ towards the Giallorossi and their supporters after the defeat to Juventus, feeling the Jordan Veretout penalty should’ve been retaken due to encroachment.
He then protested at the 2-1 home defeat to Milan, with penalty decisions at both ends causing controversy in the final stages.
