PRVWA reminder that we'll have the new semi-automatic offside system in place this evening. That means no more virtual lines! Cameras dotted around the stadium track each player and tell the VAR instantly which players are offside and in which moment. If one of the reviewable scenarios comes into play, the VAR will inform the referee and the correct decision will be made. The aim is to reduce the time for VAR offside decisions and will be used in every CL game from the group stage this season.
