Offside or not? Graphic analysis of Haaland’s goal against Real Madrid

Manchester City is facing Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League knockout stage, and controversy over refereeing decisions has already emerged.

Details: In the 19th minute, the hosts took the lead through a goal by Erling Haaland, assisted by Joško Gvardiol. However, there were immediate questions about a potential offside in the build-up. A graphic later confirmed that Haaland’s hand was in an offside position, but since hands are not considered in offside decisions, the goal was deemed valid.

Interestingly, this was the first time Haaland managed to score against Real Madrid in five meetings. It took him 378 minutes and 14 shots to finally find the net against Los Blancos in the Champions League.
