NEEJ Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I reckon that was offside, like. The Liverpool player intentionally played the ball in my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Personally thought that should have been given, thng that makes it weird is that it comes off the Madrid player, Konate(I think) goes to clear it, and then it deflects off Fabinhos Knee. So does the touch to clear it nullify the Madrid touch? Its a tough one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DahnSahf Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 From what I could see it was a goal. Liverpool player's attempted clearance came back off a Liverpool player. Real player didn't get to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely even if the Real Madrid player did get a touch the pass wasn't intended for Benzema. I thought they'd changed the laws now so that when a defending players makes an attempt to play the ball then it's a diffrent phase of play. Pretty sure Schar got punished for it vs Villa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 It clearly ricochets off a Liverpool player though. How do you prove the pass was even forwards? It's a weird one. I'd incline to benefit of the doubt to the attackers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Liverpool player played it last but it was deemed as a deflection and therefore Benzema was offside. Absolute pigshit rule imo but it's chalked off correctly. According to the rules Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Just now, Super Duper Branko Strupar said: Can only think the ball was initially played by Valverde which was then deflected by both Konate then Fabinho. So the initial touch forward was by a Madrid player and Benzema was offside at that moment. Which is probably right. Perfect description Sir Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 It’s a really tough one but I thought it was a goal. Two Pool players touched the ball before it bounced to Benzema. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ought to look at that rule as that's a fair goal for Real Madrid there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
