Controversy during Real Madrid – Manchester City: Should the referee have canceled Kevin De Bruyne’s goal? (video)

The Red Devil scored a sensational goal in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, where a refereeing error was pointed out.

Kevin De Bruyne allowed Manchester City to snatch the 1-1 draw against Real Madrid on Tuesday in the semi-finals of the Champions League. A splendid achievement… which should perhaps have been canceled by the referee!

In the phase leading to this Red Devil goal, Bernardo Silva narrowly manages to regain the ball before it leaves the field. Some Madrid then complained to the referee, but the game continued its course and went to the masterful strike of KDB.

Difficult to determine in full action if the ball was indeed entirely outside the field, but a 3D image proposed by beIN Sports sows doubt. According to this shot, the leather seems to have crossed the line and a touch for Real should therefore have been whistled. And obviously, Carlo Ancelotti saw this image too.

“The ball was out, the technology says so, not me,” fumed the Merengues coach at a press conference. “I don’t understand why the VAR didn’t check it. The referee was not very attentive tonight. »

Admittedly, according to the technology used by beIN Sport, the ball would have left the limits of the field, but you should know that the VAR does not have access to this angle of view. He was therefore unable to act on this action.
