John Terry fumes over Real Madrid disallowed goal against Liverpool in Champions League final

Former Chelsea and England defender John Terry was left confused as to why Karim Benzema's goal was disallowed in the UEFA Champions League final.

Liverpool dominated much of the first half, with Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois keeping the score level with a string of saves. With minutes left of the opening 45 minutes, the Spanish champions thought they were ahead when Karim Benzema pounced on a loose ball in the box to stroke home.

But VAR reversed the decision due to the French striker being in an offside position, despite the ball coming off Liverpool's Fabinho in the process. Former Premier League referee Peter Walton explained on BT Sport that the decision was made because the ball deflected off the Brazilian and it was not a deliberate pass.
