Absolute robbery. If Valverde had passed the ball to Benzema and a Liverpool player had fluffed an interception, then that resets the offside due to a "deliberate action". But here, Fabinho clearly gets the last touch before Benzema with an obviously deliberate action, and somehow they conspire to give Liverpool the decision. Twats.

Walton is wrong (again). He made an attempt to play to ball = goal.
Goal.
This rule is fecking dumb. If the keeper is off he is off, why should there be 2 players behind to play the striker to play him in
It's 1 player between you and the goal. Doesn't matter where the keeper is.
No it needs to he a deliberate play of the ball which it wasFor everyone that is saying it came off a Liverpool player, apparently it needs to be deliberately passed back and not accidental.
He was tackling the ball, how is that not deliberate?
It's deliberate when you go for a ball and touch it before anyone elseFor everyone that is saying it came off a Liverpool player, apparently it needs to be deliberately passed back and not accidental.
Benzema and Vincinius practically playing alone there. Modrić should be involved more.
So now I can go and invalidate all those armchair manager posts of those who didn't know the 2 player rule, like me.
what a fuking joke of a decision....yes he was offside as there was only one defender b/w him and the goal but the pass wasn't made to him by a team mate as it came off of Fabinho when he went in for the tackle
don't get how you can take that goal away

True...
Fecking hell.
Regardless of the offside call I've been a bit disappointed with Madrid's reactive tactics. My only hope is that they can bring more energy on the pitch when Liverpool tire and that wins them the game.
2 players
It was obviously offside, come on, the only weird thing about it was how long it took VAR
I thought for sure Konate got a touch on the ball on the way through to Benzema, absolutely 100% it did.
That’s maybe why it’s offside tbf.
LiVARpool even in the CL 
Madrid have no tactic here, other than fire a long pass to Vinicius and pray. Should still be winning, though.

I've resigned myself to the fact they're winning this after that.
it’s clearly a goal, everybody agrees.
No idea how the referees don’t know their own rules

We'll go for it after they score. Can't make it too easy
Deliberate play implies they have to be a little psychics
Madrid are playing a seriously risky game here. They're putting Courtois under a lot of pressure with his kicking
Oh oh…. Have the refs fecked this up ha
Yeah then it should have been a goal. Need to check the VAR room for brown envelops.
It wasn’t even that controversial to be honest, we’re just so used to the GK being last man.
No one deliberately passes back to an opposition player. It's always accidental.For everyone that is saying it came off a Liverpool player, apparently it needs to be deliberately passed back and not accidental.
You surely know the difference between a pass and a deflection?
Konate tackled the ball into Fabinho.
Fabinho is just allowed to come in like a wrecking ball. any consequent deflection is … irrelevant
Same thought. The Fabinho tackle that pushed the ball back in a dangerous area was a self-inflicted wound.
Thought it was off.
So he didn’t deliberately go in to tackle the ball?
If VAR was available in 2018, They would have chalked off the benzema goal because Karius "didnt intentionally" pass it to him. Joke!
The Univision commentators are destroying these idiot French referees for that decision.
I think they just wanted to make sure Valverde touched the ball before being tackled. Also may be looking at a potential penalty.
Touching a ball doesn’t mean everyone is offside. It’s a bullshit decision
Of course Liverpool get the call
