The play involved the intervention of semi-automatic technology, considered an evolution in the VAR system. The line suggests a small part of Mbappé’s leg was ahead of the opposing defender.

“Mbappé’s goal was ruled offside by just a tiny bit of his leg, and when the semi-automatic system is implemented here in Brazil, there are going to be a lot of people whining and complaining, it’s going to be something else,” said one internet user.

“They’re kidding. Look at that offside. They disallowed this goal because Mbappé’s little toe was ahead,” commented another fan.

Another person suggested a more drastic change to avoid these VAR controversies. “That’s why I support the idea of changing the offside rule. Mbappé had no advantage at all in the goal that was disallowed for offside.”

Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the tenth round of La Liga. The victory allowed the home team to open up a five-point lead over their Catalan rivals.
