Yes, he’s gone in to win the ball, or he’d not have gone in!

He was a knob when he was a ref and he’s still a knob. He was also an absolutely abysmal ref.
Is that the pound shop Shakira wannabe who did the opening ceremony?
Yeah i don't see what the fuss is about..
better from the back
What else was he doing, going on holiday in the box? He's come back to win the ball and if he wins it without the deflection it will be going in a forward direction towards goal regardless. They got this wrong, but I think the issue is the rule. It hit what? 3/4 Liverpool players before coming back to Benzema? That's a defensive **** up, not offside.

I’m only kidding,lol. But if it’s so clear cut why did it take them so long to make a decision during the var check.
Valverde hit it into Konate which then came off Fabinho?
People are used to it being the goalie +1 for offside.
When the goalie is up pitch then it’s two outfield players.
Yes they did play a forward ball, unlike a defender it doesn't have to be a deliberate action. Whether you like the rule or not, that is the rule.
As for never seeing it before, I can think of one fairly high profile incident in a Liverpool Spurs game where Spurs got a pen - there was some confusion over whether Lovren had made a deliberate action to play Kane onside and Sky's cameras picked up Jon Moss trying to get help from TV cameras (pre var) then admitting he had no idea what happened.
That's true for a large majority of women tho
Riiiight so he definitely meant to knee the ball and it definitely isnt a deflection.
So if Henderson smacks a shot, it hits someone whos sticking a leg out to block it and it "deflects" off him and goes in it isnt a deflection?
Waiting for angles I assume. That fact that something takes that long suggests you go with the on field decision anyway.
Soldato
No because the rule states that any decision made by var favours Liverpool lol

Need Diaz and Salah to wake up in the second half, not sure our options off the bench will be as dangerous as Real’s.
The rule’s been explained to the pundits but they’re all so brain dead they’re still arguing Real will feel hard done by.

If the ball had gone out, it’d have been a “good clearance “ and you know it.

I think it's the fact you have Robertson between Benzema and the goal and Benzema is considered offside and why that should be the case

Lazy pool passing.
