You literally had a woman's CL game last week without VAR where Chelsea conceded a penalty for a foul clearly outside the area and then were denied a winner for an offside that was onside.
There were no questions about these calls - they were flat out wrong. VAR gets far fewer calls flat out wrong.
With many, many changes to the laws. Also this argument is a fallacy.
Candles worked for centuries but we still shouldn't go back to them.
