Sergio Aguero misses penalty vs Tottenham in dramatic VAR incident in CL

The drama unfolded quite early at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium as Sergio Aguero missed a penalty awarded through VAR.

Manchester City are playing Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal at the moment.

Pep Guardiola’s side goes into the game with a better run of form and might be aiming to grab a win against the Spurs. Manchester City have a very realistic chance of achieving a historic quadruple this season.

The game started considerably evenly, until the 12th minute when the referee awarded Manchester City a penalty through a video referral.

The referee decided to opt for VAR after a handball offence from Tottenham’s Danny Rose.

However, the drama didn’t end at the awarded penalty. Sergio Aguero took a highly disappointing penalty kick from his standards, as Hugo Lloris denied the Manchester City striker his first goal of the game.

Lloris guessed correctly and dived to his left.

Here’s the video:

In the second leg between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain in the round-of-16 of the competition, a similar handball offence was reviewed through VAR, and United were awarded a penalty.

Marcus Rashford scored the winner, as a result, sending Manchester United to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Tottenham will aim to derail Manchester City’s campaign, as Guardiola’s side chaises its first-ever Champions League title.
