Max Allegri Calls for VAR Following Ronaldo's Red Card in Juventus' Dramatic Win Over Valencia

Following an incident-packed night which saw Juventus overcome Valencia with a 2-0 victory on matchday one in Champions League group H, Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri has called for UEFA to install VAR after Cristiano Ronaldo was controversially sent off.

In a scrappy match which was full of drama and big decisions, Juventus' quality and experience prevailed over their Spanish counterparts, with a brace of Miralem Pjanic penalties securing the three points for the Serie A champions.

Juventus were made to work for the result, however, particularly after Cristiano Ronaldo had been sent off after just half an hour of the match, and Allegri was critical of the decision to send off Ronaldo, insisting that the use of VAR would have reversed the decision.
