“There is a huge mistake. Okay, I heard the explanations from Dr. Duarte Gomes about the performance of the VAR and I have to respect it... But it's better to end the VAR. If the VAR cannot interfere when there is a mistake of that magnitude... What does the VAR do?”

Then, the current coach of Benfica commented on the attitude of Porto. Also dissatisfied, the rival went to the Refereeing Council claiming that it is the most disadvantaged club in the Portuguese League.

“I am not worried about watching FC Porto play, I am not analyzing their games. These allegations are not even my problem. What I said after the game against Casa Pia, I would say exactly the same now.”
