Real Madrid will feel justice was done with the result after Karim Benzema's strike in the first half was disallowed — wrongly.
Federico Valverde got to the loose ball first but then it clearly came off Fabinho last.
VAR had to decide whether that was a deliberate act by the Liverpool midfielder or whether it was an accidental deflection.
Given Fabinho slid in to get to the ball I would say what he did was deliberate.
Yet VAR decided it wasn't, perhaps feeling they should stick with the on-field decision. Liverpool got lucky.

if this goal was scored by Liverpool and the referee disallowed it, even if Real Madrid had won by 10-1, they will say Real Madrid won by referee

yea sure I still can't find why that goal didn't stood, fabinho kicked the ball so it should have stood irrespective of benzema being off or not

i also still think valverde didn’t even touch the ball so it came clearly off a (or two) liverpool player(s) so benzema can’t be offside because the ball doesn’t come from a teammate. luckily it doesn’t matter anymore.

if this is accidental, then why allow own goal because own too is an accident isn't it.but no ceferin made it so
