BERN (Reuters) - Players and coaches around Europe are becoming increasingly perplexed by the current handball rule which one has said is best suited to table football.

Forwards have seen goals chalked off for almost imperceptible handballs while defenders have conceded penalties for unintentional ones in innocuous situations because their arm was seen as making the body"unnaturally bigger."

The ball brushed his hand from a defender's header, was collected by another Cagliari team mate and then passed back to Simeone who curled it into the net. There have been a plethora of similar cases, most of them only visible to VAR officials who often take several minutes to make a decision. Then, with Atalanta 2-1 ahead in the last minute, Juve forward Gonzalo Higuain flicked the ball against Luis Muriel's hand.
