The hotly contested match between Manchester City and Tottenham sparked many reactions especially after the decision by the VAR to allow Llorente’s controversial goal.
Fernando Llorente bundled in a corner to make it 4-3 to the Blues and ultimately send Spurs through to the semi-finals on the away goals rule.
It initially appeared that the ball had hit his hip and bounced past City keeper Ederson.
But at least two different camera angles proved that the ball struck Llorente on the elbow, ricocheting onto his hip and then into the net.
Referee Cuneyt Cakir reviewed the goal on the pitchside monitors, and it is unclear exactly which angles he was shown.
The BT Sport feed repeatedly showed the incident from the same angle, face on and from a distance.
A closer view from a more square-on angle only seemed to be shown once – but it was the crucial angle which proved the handball.
Cakir’s repeated checks could only be to see whether there was a hand involved – after satisfying himself, he turned away and patted his hip, as if to rule out a handball.
Football pundit Rio Ferdinand and former Premier League ref Mark Halsey said that the goal should have been disallowed because there was a handball.
Asked whether there was a handball, the UEFA has not given an answer yet.
They indicated that there is a dialogue between the referee and the VAR – and that he control room has every available camera feed.
That leaves open the question as to why the referee repeatedly watched an angle from which the handball was not apparent.
A Uefa spokesperson simply said when asked to comment: “All relevant angles were made available to the referee to take his decision last night.”
