Benzema scored the goal in the 44th minute, after the ball rebounded to him while he was close to the goal line, to put the ball into the empty net.
With the fans of the royal team celebrating, the match followers were surprised by Turpan’s decision to return to the video technology (VAR), and minutes later the goal was canceled due to Benzema’s offside.
The replay proved that Benzema had between him and the goal line one player from Liverpool, Andy Robertson, while goalkeeper Alison Becker was out of the game, which means that the French player was actually in an offside position.
However, the replay also proved that the ball rebounded to Benzema coming from Fabinho, the opponent’s midfielder who was the last to touch the ball, which means that it is incorrect to calculate the offside of the Real Madrid striker according to the law.
The game sparked a state of controversy on social media, while the majority suggested that Benzema was not an offside and that the referee deprived Real Madrid of a correct goal.
