Fan Pinpoints When VAR Caused Football To Die

Back in April 2019, during an action-packed Champions League quarter-final at The Etihad, Manchester City thought they had snatched victory when that man Sterling scored in the 92nd minute to make it 5-4 on aggregate.

Pep Guardiola ran along the touchline as City fans celebrated one of the most incredible moments in their history.

After clawing the tie back to 4-4 and then scoring, it looked like a semi-final clash against Ajax was on the horizon.

But in a cruel twist, VAR ruled that Sergio Aguero was offside in the build-up to the last-gasp 'winner' and everyone associated with the club went from the highest high to the lowest low in a matter of seconds.

Despite it being almost three years since City were knocked out in the most brutal of circumstances, fans are still seething. In fact, Twitter user @SerMM91 claims to have not celebrated a goal since.

Moments after Sterling found the back of the net, one Manchester City fan left the ground early after believing that the club had gone through to the semi-final stages - only to be told by a reporter outside that the goal was not given.
