Real Madrid achieved an invaluable victory in the first stage of their Champions League round of 16 Derby collision with Atletico Madrid, thanks to a moment of brilliance by Brahim Diaz early in the second half. Los Colchoneros, however, believes that the winner should not have been.
Brahim flew Jose Maria Gimenez in the box with fast feet before he found the far corner of the net in perhaps his best moment for Real Madrid in his career. However, there is a growing sentiment from Atletico Madrid fans that Vinicius Junior was offside in the structure and Jan Oblak's view of the shot from a offside position. Similar incidents have not allowed goals to disturb the game.
It is a decision that has provoked special anger from the Rojiblanco support compared to a previously not allowed goal for Atletico in the derby. As recently as last year, Stefan Savic saw a header shoot away because of the position of Saul Niguez for Andriy Lunin.
Former referee Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez told Cadena Ser (via Relevanto) that it was at least a legal goal for him.
“Vinicius goes where the ball does not go, he goes out of the play. In life there can be such interference. Another frame, and you see that Oblak sees the ball coming from his boot. “
Yet the referee expert from Radiomarca Pavel Fernandez did not agree with iturring, perhaps something suggested that the case was less clear.
“There was a positional offside in Brahim's goal. It is positional, but Vinicius is offside in the shooting line and one and a half meters from Oblak. The goalkeeper of Atleti cannot see the shot because the Brazilian is in front of him. I don't doubt it. It is not the referee's fault, the problem is that they do not warn him of the VAR. “
Ultimately, according to the Rulebook, the VAR and referee Clement Turpin had to make a judgment about whether Oblak's vision of the shot was impeded. The Slovenian certainly did not appeal after the incident, but that does not mean that VAR has not shown that they did not intervene.
“A player who is in an offside position when the ball touches or is played by a teammate is only punished if he actively participates in one of the following ways: interfering with Games, by touching a ball or touching a teammate; As well as interfering the game of an opponent in one of the next three ways. “One of those ways is to prevent the defensive player from playing or playing the ball, by clearly impeding the opponent's field of vision.”
