"Yuste says "it was a disgrace" that the players had to wait such a long time for a decision and says the club will take action. "As president, I want to say that we will not let this stand and we will demand explanations. It's unacceptable that eight minutes have to pass before we see what happens with a play," he told reporters."
"Hansi Flick and Frenkie de Jong were both very critical of the VAR delay after the match, with the Dutchman also insisting there was no offside. Yuste admitted that he had "woken up feeling awful" after the match but hasn't give up hope that the team can turn the tie around: "the hope and spirit of filling the stadium for the return leg and giving the team that morale boost, and why not think that we can turn things around.""
