Wenger picks three Arsenal games in which he would have liked VAR available

Arsene Wenger admits he could have done with VAR technology in three Champions League fixtures from his iconic Arsenal reign.

Asked to pick just three fixtures in which he would like to have seen key decisions reviewed, he said: “I would choose Barcelona’s equaliser in the 2006 Champions League final because it was offside, and we were 1-0 up with 30 minutes to go. That’s the trophy I miss here, you know, so that is for me the most important one."

“The second one I would choose is the second yellow card for Robin van Persie at Barcelona in 2011, because this was the moment we were qualified against a very strong team, and it was a very difficult decision to accept - it basically killed our chances, " lamented Wenger. “After that maybe I go to a more recent decision - against Bayern Munich when Laurent Koscielny was sent off for a penalty when Lewandowski was offside. That just comes to my mind now but maybe I forget many, many, many, many more.”
