Ex-UEFA chief Platini slams VAR

European football's governing body has now also introduced the use of the video replay technology in this year's Champions League.

Meanwhile, the former Juventus star believes he could still play a role in football after his four-year suspension from the sport ended in October."At 64, I have the opportunity for one last adventure, but I have no room for error and I have to think about it," he said. A triple Ballon d'Or winner, Platini had been expected to succeed Sepp Blatter as FIFA president in 2016 but fell spectacularly from grace a few months earlier.

The former France captain was suspended by world football's governing body in 2015 over a controversial payment of two million Swiss francs that he received from Blatter."At FIFA, they did not want me as president," he continued.Platini added that he no longer had any contact with either Blatter or current FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
