Karim Benzema's goal should have been allowed in the Champions League final

  /  autty

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.
