Gianni Infantino, the President of the Fédération
Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), Gianni Infantino
has refused to blame referee Deniz Aytekin, for his performance
in Barcelona’s dramatic 6-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday
night.
Infantino also warned that football’s lawmakers, should be careful
with adjusting the rules.
He, however, admitted that video assistant referees (VARs), will
ensure “clear mistakes” are corrected. VARs are being introduced gradually into
the game.
Barcelona were trailing 4-0 from the first leg and were awarded
two penalties at the Camp Nou, as they overturned the four-goal deficit. One of
them given for Marquinhos’ foul on Luis Suarez was particularly controversial.
“Whether that particular case was an injustice or not, we can
leave it to the judgement of the referee [Germany’s Deniz Aytekin],” Infantino
said in London on Thursday.
“What we saw was an incredible football match, whatever the result
would have been at the end. This shows that football is really a fantastic game.
“Whenever you have the feeling you have seen everything, something
else comes along that you’ve never seen before. It’s just amazing and
incredible.
“We have to really be careful in the IFAB [International Football
Association Board] if we want to touch the rules, because football is such an
incredible game.
“In this case, I don’t know if it was a clear mistake or not but,
in future, when there are clear mistakes, this will be corrected by the video
assistant referee so we can make sure decisive matches are not decided by
mistakes made in good faith by the referee”, he added.
