UEFA president Michel Platini insists that goal-line technology is a waste of money.

UEFA president Michel Platini has reiterated his stance that goal-line technology does not have a place in football.

FIFA debuted the new systems in the Club World Cup opener between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Auckland City last week and Champions League winners Chelsea will experience the technology for the first time in the tournament.

"It is not a question of goal-line technology, it is a question of technology," said Mancini. "Where do you begin with the technology and where do you end with the technology?

"To put goal-line technology in our competitions is £40m in five years. I prefer to give the 40m to the grassroots and development in football than to put 40m into technology for perhaps one or two goals per year. It's a lot [of money] a goal, yeah?"

The two systems that have been approved by the world governing body are Hawk-Eye and GoalRef.
