Wasn’t that offside? Chelsea score a controversial goal against Atalanta Getty

Chelsea travelled to face Atalanta in the sixth round of the UEFA Champions League, and midway through the first half a rather contentious episode unfolded.

Details: In the 25th minute, the London side took the lead through a goal by João Pedro. However, provider Reece James appeared to be in an offside position, and the goal was initially ruled out. But after a VAR review, it was eventually awarded. Still, the moment remains controversial — if Reece James did stay onside, it was by only a few centimetres.

Reminder: In the same match, Raoul Bellanova went down clutching his leg, and after a brief medical assessment, the decision was made to substitute him.
