Isn't that a goal?

To me it looks like it’s the tackle that takes the ball forwards, which is clearly not the same as a deflection etc.

 

[grecian]

I think it was a goal myself, would have been hideously against the run of play, but hey that's Real Madrid.

It was quite a fun half, but no goals again, Liverpool seem to specialize in these this year.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

I thought Konate kicked it into Fabinho anyway, so two (heavy) Liverpool touches before it lands with Benzema.

 

[GIMH]

Someone on twitter has just said that because the tackle was to prevent the Real player playing the ball it’s deemed the same as a deflection. No idea if that’s the rule quite frankly

Yeah I swear we see that sort of thing all the time given as a goal. He is quite clearly trying to play the ball.

 

[GIMH]

Hey Pothas don’t mind me, I’m some lower league jackass. You’re not too aggrieved either way with the decision in a non-VAR game.

I wonder if there’s an almost unofficial Umpire’s Call thing gone on here whereby because the lino flagged and they couldn’t make their minds up they just went **** it no goal

 

[Lillian Thomson]

He didn’t play it deliberately in that direction but it’s a very strange definition of a deflection. If that’s correct the rule is odd.

 

[sledger]

Yeah looked like a clear goal to me as well

 

[Uppercut]

I thought it was offside. I’m yet to see anyone who agrees though.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Deserved win. We think the PL is so great yet the top three have been taken out by a very modest Madrid team.
Michael Owen needs to be ditched by BT. Predicting Liverpool would blow them away was as clueless as it gets.

 

[sledger]

Not like Michael Owen to talk bollocks

Anyway that was funny

 

[Uppercut]

Love it.

 

[Pothas]

Madrid are actually great.

 

[GIMH]

Courtois was unreal

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Madrid are actually great.

They're actually not, that's what makes our top three clubs failure so funny.

 

[Pothas]

People say it every time they win it. I think the whole ridiculousness of them sort of makes them underrated. They have loads of really good players.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I've never seen a Madrid winning team as defensive and functional as this one.

 

[sledger]

Probably not a stick that should be used to beat them with tbh

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What a great day. Wrexham and Liverpool lose. Get in.

 

[GIMH]

Highlight of the evening for me was when Liverpool were attacking in injury time and the commentator chose to promote the National League play-offs
