That’s one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen. Fabinho slides in to make the tackle therefore is deliberately trying to play the ball.
Champions League Final: Liverpool v Real Madrid | Hala Madrid!

He slid in to block the ball. If it's not a deflection what is it? The ball came off Fabinho's sliding knee.
A Heineken YAWN advert. Jesus wept
Not at all. Real Madrid deserves to be up a goal, because THEY SCORED A GOAL. That's how football works.
When incidents like that happen the rule book should be immediately altered after the game. Any normal fan watching that doesn’t understand why it’s not given. Ex-players sat there saying they don’t understand and then Peter fecking Walton comes on acting like that’s the rule. It’s nonsense.
So if you misplace a pass and it goes to the striker by accident it won't be a goal?
No ones remembering this final for the football it seems.
I’m even more annoyed by the fact that Robertson wasn’t playing him on. I always assumed it was the last outfield player you had to be behind.
To be fair, whilst I also agree it’s a horrid decision, the interpretation of ‘deliberate’ relates to Fabinho deliberately playing the ball towards Benzema, not necessarily deliberately playing the ball per se. At least that’s how I’m trying to rationalise their definition and subsequent decision! 
Liverpool to win this on pens
Such a dumb comment. They deserve it because they've just scored a clear goal that was disallowed. Nothing else matters.
That means absolutely zilch.
The winner is the team that puts one more ball than their opponent in the net.
That's a reward for her tbh.
Yep, but looks like they need to be bent when it involes LiVARpool.
Cheating cnuts
I agree but I thought there was a double deflection. Surely that should play some part. I mean at what point does bad defending get punished? If Fabinho isn’t there the ball probably falls to a real player at the far post. not just because it’s Liverpool but I wish the attacking team would get advantage in decisions like this. It seems now they’re always looking to rule out goals
Seems like Real are just trying to stay in the game at times rather than take the fight to Liverpool. Am hoping it's part of the plan to change things up with the subs and nick it against a tired Liverpool
In what world does a defender deliberately play the ball to an opposing attacker !? It’s always going to be a messy scramble , unbelievably lucky
I'm so sick of Liverpool getting the VAR calls in these finals.
Look at the Carling cup. Couple of red cards etc.
It's like they always get the benefit of the doubt

Why would he tho? I don't get the whole accidental/deliberate debate. He slid in for the ball and the ball hit him, then it went to Benzema who scored.
Genuinely asking why is there even a debate? It's a goal.
I mean, the big scandal here is that they didn't enforce the famous "Real Madrid Champions League Tax Rule" which clearly states any remotelt controversial decision should be awarded in Real Madrid's favour
Karim Benzema disallowed goal against Liverpool 45' (Replay)
hahaha have you been on the stella’s all day or something? even my 80 year old nan can see fabinho clearly touches it last
He said he doesn't deliberately pass it to Benzema which is an arse backwards sentence in itself anyway.
When does it stop being not deliberate? It's just all too confusing.
"We can tie ourselves up in knots talking about the only goal that was scored in the game, but let's talk about how great Liverpool are instead" Cnuts on BT
Get Camavinga on
feck this team
feck this team
Klopp is such a scruff isn’t he. Orange trainers ffs
Yeah I’m not actually sure why it wasn’t given now, don’t understand the not deliberate thing and the Valverde pass wasn’t for him.
Noup.
Check another angle.
Never been called sunshine on the caf before. Kinda blushing right now.
Yeah exactly, he slid in, the ball hit the sliding leg and went in the only direction it could have done. Very very weird.
But it has to be according to rules. It was a clear offside according to rules. I actually dislike the rule.
Should be 2 up, apparently. Totally ignoring the Real goal.
I have been watching soccer for 21 yrs, I haven't seen a luckier team than this Liverpool.
Even Carragher thinks it should be a goal for real.

deliberate never ever gets used for this exact reason. how can you ever know? should drogbas goal where gerrard back passed it not have counted then either? gerrard didn’t mean it?
it’s ludicrousLiverpool are the epitome of luck
Don’t refs have to read intent quite a lot?
I think it should be a goal but according to the rules it isn't
BT have decided Liverpool should be 2-0 up yet Madrid are the only side the have legitimately scored a goal.
My BT contract runs out in November. I have been thinking about cancelling it. They are doing their best to make my mind up for me.
On the phone with Salah right now to get him to stand next to the adulterer in the next half and bang in a few off-side goals.
