The round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League has started and there has already been a controversy that is causing people to talk on social networks.
During the match between Leipzig and the real Madridfor the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, the VAR was once again the protagonist in a play that will cause people to talk during the course of the day.
As soon as the match began, after a corner kick in favor of the local team, the scoring opened with a goal from Benjamin Sesko. Seconds later, The VAR made the decision to annul the German team’s goal due to an alleged offside.
The images quickly went viral on social networks, where there are users who defend the decision and others who talk about a ”theft” on the part of Real Madrid. What the VAR considers is that the offside is not the player who ends up scoring, but rather the one who ”bothers” the goalkeeper, since That player would be intervening in the play while he is not authorized.
