Karim Benzema’s disallowed goal for Real Madrid on the stroke of half time has caused confusion.
Benzema slotted the ball past Alisson after the ball deflected back to him off Fabinho. However, after a lengthy VAR check, the goal was ruled offside to the bemusement of many fans and pundits.
Firstly, Benzema was seen as being in an offside position because he was ahead of Alisson and only Andy Robertson was between him and the goal. In offside terms, Robertson serves as the goalkeeper here. However, the confusion comes because the ball rebounds off Fabinho last before going into Benzema’s path.
