[Football] The Champions League Final… Liverpool v Real Madrid Match Thread

[One Teddy Maybank]

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.

Thought the same until the deflection rule was explained.

Rules applied correctly IMO.

LiVARpool very very lucky there. Clearly comes off their player

Walton said it had to be deliberate. It clearly wasn't so why was that lucky?

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.

I think people’s issue is that Fabinho’s action was deemed a deflection. A pretty liberal definition of the word considering it was an intentional foot in.

Of course we understand what Walton said. He’s wrong.

Fabinho slides in and plays the ball with his knee. If he’s NOT intentionally playing the ball, please explain what he IS doing sliding in at the feet of the striker?

Played many sliding tackles with your knee Hans?

But it wasn't a foot at all was it. Very rare for a player to do an intentional knee in.

GM did a knob in.

Oh right. So the former ref, the VAR and the VAR assistants are all wrong are they? It bounces off his knee without any control over where it's going, so it's a deflection.

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

Completely contradictory post.

Who passed the ball to him then?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Trent Arnold ball watching. Been a poor final from him, so many misplaced passes too.
