Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, has claimed he would have won the  Champions League with Premier League club, Chelsea, if European football governing body, UEFA had introduced Video Assistant Referee, (VAR) in 2005.

The Portuguese tactician made this known while speaking with Canal 11 recently.

According to him, Chelsea lost to the Reds, because there was “no goal-line technology”, in reference to Luis Garcia’s infamous “ghost goal”.

During his managerial career, Mourinho has lifted the Champions League title twice.

First, was with FC Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010.
