UEFA’s referees’ chief has issued a stark warning that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system risks becoming overly "microscopic" in its analysis of subjective decisions, straying from its original purpose.

Roberto Rosetti, UEFA’s director of refereeing, expressed a widespread concern that the technology, initially introduced to eliminate clear and obvious errors from football, is now frustrating supporters by effectively re-refereeing matches.
