‘It’s a sporting crime’ – Napoli president threatens to sue over poor VAR calls

The Serie A supremo says that he is willing to take match officials who make mistakes to court

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has said that he is prepared to take referees to court over damages in future if they do not consult VAR.

The Serie A side feel that they have been on the wrong end of numerous decisions this season, with the latest controversial incident cropping up during their 3-2 loss to Lecce last weekend as Arkadiusz Milik was booked for a dive in the box.

Referee Antonio Giua refused to review the call on the monitor, despite replays showing that the Poland international had his ankle clipped.
