Inter Milan suffered a stomach-wrenching 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in their last UEFA Champions League outing.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, UEFA ‘agrees’ with the Nerazzurri over a controversial penalty.

Felix Zwayer awarded a non-existent penalty to Liverpool in the dying moments of the match.

Indeed, the German referee initially refused to point to the spot. However, he changed his mind after receiving a bizarre call from the VAR booth.

Therefore, his decision cost the San Siro giants a potentially vital point in an intense race for a top-eight finish.

Zwayer’s on-field decision was spot-on, yet his VAR colleagues intervened with no valid reason.

It’s fair to admit that Alessandro Bastoni made a terrible mistake, though his contact with Florian Wirtz was minimal and lasted for a millisecond.

However, it was enough for Zwayer to give the Reds a game-defining penalty in the 88th minute.

Still, VAR’s intervention was inappropriate, significantly upsetting the Nerazzurri hierarchy.

As it appears, UEFA shares the same rage since it wasn’t up to the VAR officials to make that call.
