It's ruddy boring.

RM just sitting back….not sure they’ve made one attempt as yet


Nearly an edit …phew offside as we await VAR

RM are awful to watch.

Nothing like a 5mins VAR decision to add drama and excitement to the worlds “greatest” match in club football.

Offside...eventually.

Is that Leo Trossards uncle reffing the game?

Liverpool very lucky to get away with that VAR call IMO.

 

[RM-Taylor]

LiVARpool very very lucky there. Clearly comes off their player

100% a goal for RM. Absolutely scandalous decision. The ball comes to Benzema from the knee of the sliding Fabinho who definitely means to play the ball.

Shocking.

Peter Walton said that it would have to have been deliberately played by a Liverpool player to put Benzema onside - a deflection doesn't count.

I agree they were very fortunate though.

I agree.

It was never going to be given as the easy call was not to give it.

The touch before that is key, it comes off a Liverpool player and then hits another.

I agree, but there we go.

Should have stood.

Listening to the justification on BT sport, it’s bull shit. Fabinho makes the tackle, an intentional tackle and the ball ends up at Benzemas feet. Should have been a goal, and the rule needs changing

Exactly. In fact, it comes off four Liverpool players

Not sure why anybody from dumbo Ferdinand to posters on here can't grasp what Peter Walton explained so clearly. It's a deflection off Fabinho, not a deliberate play. So Benzema is offside. As Gerrard said in as many words to Rio, Peter Walton has explained it, move on.

No offence, but Peter Walton is the last person worth listening to in these situations.
