LaLiga president Tebas: Goalline technology waste of money

LaLiga president Javier Tebas has rejected criticism of the game lacking goalline technology.

Barcelona are ready to take Sunday’s defeat at Real Madrid to the courts after Lamine Yamal had a goal denied by VAR.

Tebas told Marca: “It is not a perfect technology and that is the first reason.

“But it is not only that: throughout a season, ghost goals happen three or four times and if you add that it is not perfect, the value is very high for the use given to it: it means investing between five and six million (euros) for the two categories to use it once and with doubts.”

He has also added that “with VAR, 99% of the plays can be solved”.
