In a recent interview with AS, Unair Emery claimed that things would things would have been different in the Barcelona vs PSG second leg had VAR. Unai Emery said, "I won Ligue 1, four domestic Cups and two Super Cups. The objective though, was to win the Champions League. In my first season (2017), we put in a superb first leg against Barcelona, but in the return leg, we were knocked out because VAR didn't exist at the time. We were clearly eliminated because of refereeing decisions. The following season, against Real Madrid, we lost to a team who had made history by winning the Champions League three years running, and there were also refereeing discrepancies in that tie."
