Was it really offside?
I suppose you could argue that he stops Kepa from being able to smother the ball like a goalkeeper would attempt. I’m not saying thats what happened. Simply playing devils advocateIs he interfering with play?
He Is laying on the floor and Kepa done what he usually does and stood up. Did he, by laying on the floor, really get in Kepas way?
You're kidding?My initial view was the shot hit him on the way through, in which case he is definitely offside. But from watching replay after replay I can't be sure on that, and if it didn't hit him there is no way he can be offside.
Of more concern for me is the laughable stoppage time being applied since restart. 3.5 minutes for the VAR decision, from stopping play for the drinks break to restarting was over 2 minutes, yet 3 minutes are added in total. That is absolutely ridiculous.
A clip conveniently edited just to miss the bit where the ball bounces back off the player on the floor. Add an extra 2 seconds to the start of it and you'd have at the very least, a much more questionable decision.
