On Wednesday, April 16, Real Madrid and Arsenal were playing the second leg of the UEFA Champions League, and once again, there were controversial moments.
Details: The "Gunners" took the lead in the 65th minute after a beautiful goal by Bukayo Saka, who elegantly chipped Thibaut Courtois. However, at the start of the attack, there were doubts—was Saka himself offside? After a clearance from David Raya and a flick from Merino, Bukayo could have been closer to the goal than the Real defenders.
But just two minutes after the goal, Arsenal created a problem for themselves. David Raya played the ball to William Saliba, but he couldn't get rid of it in time and literally handed it to Vinícius.
In the 24th minute, the referee initially awarded a penalty against Arsenal. However, after four minutes of VAR review, the referee overturned his original decision.
Incidentally, at the beginning of the game, the referee also awarded a penalty against Real. However, Bukayo Saka, who stepped up to the spot, failed to beat Courtois.
