VAR and the offside rule are once again making headlines.
After the controversy in the Tottenham-Liverpool game, the drama has extended to the Champions League where Atlético de Madrid are hosting Feyenoord.
The Dutch visitors took an early lead, but Diego Simeoneâs side hit back through their in-form marksman Ălvaro Morata.
The goal was initially ruled offside due to Saulâs positioning, but VAR intervened and the goal was given because it hit a Feyenoord defender before falling to Morata.
However, one could argue the defender never would have made an interception if Saul wasnât in such a position.
The hosts will take their stroke of luck and hope it can inspire a turnaround.
Morata, impressively, now has 24 Champions League goals to his name. The same as legends Luis Figo, Paul Scholes and Gonzalo HiguaĂn.
