"Rosetti admitted that technology works very well for factual decisions like offside, but subjective situations are leading to too many interventions. The Premier League has the lowest VAR intervention rate in Europe's top leagues this season, at 0.27 per game - although fewer reviews has not led to less controversy over decisions. The Bundesliga and La Liga come next at 0.38, Serie A at 0.44 and Ligue 1 at 0.47. In the Champions League the ratio is also high, at 0.45."
"Rosetti added that European football must speak "only one technical language" on handball. Interpretation differs widely across leagues, with the Premier League operating one of the more lenient approaches. "We cannot speak different technical languages across Europe," Rosetti said. "It's not good. It's not good also because teams are playing in European competitions. "We are speaking a lot about it. For sure, before next season, we need to speak again. "Only one uniformity and consistent interpretation. We are working for this.""
Video assistant review (VAR) is becoming overly forensic, with technology reliable for factual decisions like offside but problematic in subjective situations such as handball. European leagues show varied VAR intervention rates: Premier League 0.27 per game, Bundesliga and La Liga 0.38, Serie A 0.44, Ligue 1 0.47, Champions League 0.45. Pressure from supporters and media has increased the number of subjective reviews, driving calls for clearer purpose and fewer microscopic interventions. UEFA seeks a single, consistent technical interpretation of handball across Europe to reduce inconsistencies when teams meet in continental competitions and resists extending VAR's remit.
