Alain Sars (born 30 April 1961) is a retired French football referee.
Alin Sars became infamous in Sweden in the Champions League game between AIK vs. Barcelona in the year 1999.
In the 85th minute Sars decided to allow Barcelona to commence with their corner kick during a double substitution for AIK, resulting in a goal.
The Swedes were furious and the Head Coach of AIK Stuart Baxter was sent off after heavily protesting the unjust goal.
In a game between PSV Eindhoven and Kauserlautern he allowed a goal when the ball wasn't over the line thanks to player protests.
