Neymar called the decision that led to Paris Saint-Germain being dumped out of the Champions League a "disgrace", while elsewhere on Wednesday Roma were left raging -- both clubs are out of Europe and both feel cheated by controversial VAR calls.
"It's a disgrace. They get four guys who don't understand football to watch a slow-motion replay in front of the TV," the injured Neymar wrote on Instagram after watching PSG's shock elimination against Manchester United.
PSG were wobbling and trailing 2-1 at the Parc des Princes when Slovenian referee Damir Skomina gave a penalty after reviewing the images when Presnel Kimpembe blocked an apparently wayward Diogo Dalot shot with his arm.
Marcus Rashford duly scored the penalty that dumped PSG out on away goals. But should such a crucial decision have been given? "I am a big supporter of VAR and I stay a big supporter of VAR," said PSG coach Thomas Tuchel, before admitting: "It was a big decision, a cruel decision."

"I love it that it is handball but I don't get it. The law is wrong." On the same channel, Michael Owen, another ex-United player, said: "I know there'll be people who will say it's a penalty but for me it's not one in a million years."
