Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé bagged a brace in the Matchday 35 La Liga clash against Barcelona. While the Frenchman opened the scoring from the penalty spot, his second goal came after a one-on-one with Wojciech Szczęsny.

The referees spent some time reviewing the episode for a possible offside by Mbappé. However, the decision stood: the goal was legitimate.

A few minutes later, viewers were shown computer graphics confirming the officials' correct call.

As seen in the freeze-frame, Mbappé was behind the defender by about half a torso. So, the offside question was rightly ruled in favor of the Real Madrid striker.

It's worth noting that Real were leading 2-0 during the match, but Barcelona managed to score three goals before the halftime whistle.
