Riots outside the Stade de France in the Champions League final (according to section 27 / a of the Copyright Act)

A controversial moment was recorded tonight (Saturday) in the Champions League final, when a goal by Karim Benzema was disqualified before the break.

Real Madrid had already celebrated a 0-1 lead in the 43rd minute after the French striker subdued Allison after a mess on the Liverpool pitch, but Hakwon raised the flag for a dissent, and this was checked by the screen referees.

After long minutes the VAR men decided that the goal was disqualified and the result would remain 0: 0, but the decision still remained controversial.

According to the photo provided by the VAR, Benzema received the ball from the feet of Pada and Alvareda, and before him there was only one Liverpool defender, which justifies the decision to differentiate.

On the other hand, according to Real Madrid, the ball reached Benzema in general from Fabiano's legs, and if so, then there is no difference.

The question being asked is whether Fabigno touched the ball intentionally, and since the referees ruled that the contact was unintentional, it was decided that it was offside.

Rio Ferdinand, the English commentator, said after the decision: "If I am a Real Madrid player, I go crazy in the locker room after such a decision. The ball comes from a Liverpool player's spy, and whistles differ?".

Former England referee Peter Walton, on the other hand, said: "It is an easy decision.

The one who faithfully represented the audience feeling is the commentator and former actor Marco van Basten, who said on the broadcast: "I'm tired of all these dissenting laws that have been talked about in recent years, it's so fucking complicated. The people at home no longer understand anything, and neither do I."
