Video Assistant Referees (VAR) could be implemented in the latter rounds of this season's Champions League, after UEFA bosses hinted that the technology use may come into effect sooner than planned.
European football's governing body has already confirmed that it plans to use VAR during the 2019/20 season, with a series of tests on the effectiveness and reliability on the technology approaching the latter stages.
But it appears that UEFA may be considering using the technology this season, with UEFA president Aleksandar Ceferin and European Club Association chairman Andrea Agnelli telling a news conference in Brussels that VAR would be in use "at the latest next season".
