""For sure the first goal is a goal. I don't see with the VAR how you cannot allow that goal. That's a shame, to be honest.""
""I don't think any single player on the pitch thought that was a foul to be honest, apart from the ref. It was disappointing because I feel like we could have swung the momentum back a little bit.""
""They just always say, 'Yeah, we are checking' but they make the wrong decision and nothing changed. But to be honest, when a human makes a mistake, I think you can understand a little bit more.""
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor expressed disappointment over a refereeing decision that disallowed a goal during their 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals. Veerle Buurman's header was ruled out for a foul, a decision not overturned by VAR. Chelsea managed to score once in the second half, but it was not enough. Bompastor emphasized the need for respect and quality refereeing in women's football, while defender Lucy Bronze noted the impact of the disallowed goal on the game's momentum.
