Madrid are aiming to keep it tight then bring on their attacking subs Chuks Aneke and Jonny Williams later in the second half4

unbelievable decision. Comes back off a Liverpool defender. Can’t be offside in a million years1
-
Surely it becomes another passage of play when the Liverpool player blocks the pass and it moves away from goal?
It then hits another Liverpool player to go back towards the goal again.
Benzema can't be offside from a passage of play that was already stopped.1 -
Why would any defender deliberately play it to a striker? Is this “only if it’s intentional” a new interpretation of the laws?ForeverAddickted said:

Liverpool defender knocked it into Benzema's path.2 -
How was that not given ?1
-
Looks like Konate plays it against Fabinho which then rolled through to Benzema0
-
I would’ve thought that the second deflection is a new ‘play’ and therefore Liverpool have passed the ball to Benzema.
Probably another rule that needs more clarification.

I think I should have been a goal although with the rules it was correctly ruled out. Rule is stupid though, not sure it needed changing0
-
I thought it was offside. In the old days it would have been offside in 5 seconds and move on. Now we have an over-complicated rule set and a 4 minute VAR check. Then it looks onside because of the new phase of play, but it's called offside. Minutes wasted and we still feel like the wrong decision was reached even though it used to be right and wouldn't really have been controversial at all. Modern football eh.3

Valverde hits it against Konate, then hits Fabinho and into the path of Benzema.

VAR just amplfies these nonsense laws.0 -
Unless there’s a forward touch by a Madrid player then offside is irrelevant no? I don’t understand this intentional thing3
-
So as long as you slide a bit as a defender when touching the ball, a forward behind you is always offside?0
-
Has to be deliberate.ValleyGary said:If it comes from a Liverpool forward deflection that’s a goal isn’t it? I don’t understand1 -
If a ball is crossed into the box and it flicks a defenders head into an attackers path who would otherwise have been offside, then it’s play on isn’t it? Why is this any different?0
-
Benzema was offside when Valverde played it... shouldn’t matter whether it bounces off 1, 2, 3 or 4 defenders on its way through IMO.3

Rio is thick isn’t he!0

The ball travelled in the direction that Fabinho hit it with his knee. It’s not a “deflection”. If you throw your leg towards a football, make connection with the football and the ball then travels in that same direction I can’t see how it’s a simple, unintentional, deflection.Callumcafc said:Valverde hits it against Konate, then hits Fabinho and into the path of Benzema.

It's amazing how simple this can be if we let it!Callumcafc said:Benzema was offside when Valverde played it... shouldn’t matter whether it bounces off 1, 2, 3 or 4 defenders on its way through IMO.0 -

But it was cleared, the ball moved away from the goal. It should be a new passage of play.Callumcafc said:Benzema was offside when Valverde played it... shouldn’t matter whether it bounces off 1, 2, 3 or 4 defenders on its way through IMO.
If we take it further, lets say Konate knocked the ball out to the centre circle. Benzema runs back and makes a last ditch tackle to save a break, he's apparently offside still?0 -

You are not offside if the ball is "played" by the opposition. In this instance the ball was not "played" by the opposition but was "deflected" by him. There is a difference. Fabinho did not intentionally play the ball.ValleyGary said:Unless there’s a forward touch by a Madrid player then offside is irrelevant no? I don’t understand this intentional thing1 -
Konate deliberately made a tackle and played the ball no? Otherwise it's a penalty.golfaddick said:

Madrid will be happy with the scoreline as they have better impact players on the bench
We saw that in the FA Cup final where Liverpool have a world class starting 11, but lack a bit of creative magic on the bench if it's scoreless.0 -
Looking at the clip above I would say that the ball comes off him. Yes, he is making a forward movement but he was not intentionally playing the ball. His movement meant the the ball bounced off him & went towards Benzema . Unless he think he was clearing or passing the ball with his knee.0

I was saying to my son during the first half that Liverpool have to make their possession count.
My bet is on Real Madrid to win it now.0
