It's always been like that.

Did it come off a Madrid player at all while Benzema was offside ? (at work so no access to replays/rewind)

 

It did

The rule is first though.


Ball moved forward when Konate slid it to Fabinho’s leg. Really think it should be a new phase of play and not a deflection.

Like if the ball had gone to Allison after his contact, would it have been a backpass? No, its the same for offside

 

 

 

Does a knee/thigh count as a backpass?

No as it wasn't a deliberate back pass, more a tackle/melee for the ball.

A real Madrid player kicked it first though and when he kicked it, benzema was offside. It then deflected off a Liverpool player into benzema's feet. That's why he was offside. 

 

This is it and also shows how officiating is much harder than many think it is.

What happens before Fabinho is irrelevant though. Fabinho slides in and deflects the ball into Benzemas path.

 

I suppose you could argue that Fabinhos was a deflection from a real pass but that would be an incredible interpretation.

To me if you're sliding in to get the ball then you've intentionally played it, even if technically the Madrid player gets their first. It's not like it's randomly pinged off you from a shot. Unlucky yes, but still should have been a goal IMO.

I don't think he did though. As far as I could see the Real player didn't reach it. It was an attempted clearance.

Which is fair enough, but we have had goals given against us because our player has touched the ball.

Even worse when you see how many goals have been ruled out due to it glancing a hair or boot of an attacker inadvertently and not even changed the direction of the ball.
