Controversial goal annulled to Benzema: the VAR indicates offside

In the 43rd minute of the first part of the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool, the VAR annulled a goal scored by Karim Benzema after seeing a controversial offside by the French striker.

Benzema took advantage of a great pass from Alaba, lowered the ball and cut off Robertson with class, but in heads-up play, the number nine hesitated. The ball bounced off Konate, then Alisson and then, in a fight between Valverde and Van Dijk, the ball returned to Benzema, who put it into the net.

However, after 7 minutes of waiting, the VAR annulled the goal. The video arbitration rules that the ball came from Valverde and that, therefore, Benzema is offside.

Therefore, the 0-0 is still valid.
