Cesc Fabregas Furious After Como Lose to Juventus, Says His Team Should Have Had a Penalty and VAR Is Bad for Football

Veteran midfielder Cesc Fabregas expressed his frustration following Como’s defeat against Juventus, criticizing the referee's decisions and the use of VAR. The Spanish legend believes his team deserved a penalty in a crucial moment of the match, which could have changed the outcome.

Fabregas, known for his calm demeanor, was unusually vocal after the match. He openly stated that VAR, which was introduced to improve fairness in football, has instead created more controversy. According to him, some decisions remain subjective despite the presence of technology.

Como had fought bravely against the Italian giants but were left disappointed by what they believed to be unfair refereeing decisions. The contentious moment came when one of Como’s players was brought down inside the penalty area, but the referee and VAR officials refused to award a penalty.

Speaking to the media post-match, Fabregas emphasized that such incidents hurt smaller clubs like Como, as they do not receive the same level of officiating as bigger teams. He also called for more consistency in VAR decisions to ensure fair play.

This incident has reignited the debate on whether VAR is truly beneficial for football or if it adds unnecessary delays and confusion to the game. Many fans and analysts have taken to social media to discuss the controversial decisions made in the match.

Despite the frustration, Fabregas remains focused on helping Como improve in the league. He hopes his team can bounce back stronger and that officiating will be more balanced in future matches.
