Why Cristiano Ronaldo's second goal against Atletico Madrid "should not have stood"

Cristiano Ronaldo's second goal for Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday should not have been respected, according to Madrid's Atletico fans.

Ronaldo shot at Juventus to win an impressive comeback against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League 16, his hat-trick thus eliminating the Spanish club's lead on the score of 2-0.

But Atleti fans are in turmoil after a fan posted a video that seemed to show his second goal was not to be postponed – VAR was wrong.

Ronaldo's header initially appeared to have been miraculously guarded by Jan Oblak, Atletico's goalkeeper, but goal-line technology confirmed that the ball had crossed the line.

However, the video that angered Atleti's supporters claims that the VAR verdict was wrong for three reasons: because, it is said, the goal line was narrower than it should have been, the circle used to describe the balloon was smaller than it should have been. , and the position given for the edge of the ball was actually based on the location of Oblak's hand.

The video then tries to rectify what it claims to be flaws in the system – with the result that the ball does not completely cross the starting line.

Ronaldo's second was scored at a crucial moment, equalizing the match shortly after half-time in the second leg and allowing Juventus to take third place late in the game thanks to an 86th-minute shot from the Portuguese star .

VAR-seek?

So, did it cross the line or did Oblak almost keep it? The video below certainly fueled the VAR debate:

The tweet of King Cholo translates as: "SCANDAL !!! Juve's second goal has not come in! UEFA's goal technology is a scam and that's what's demonstrated. "

It was far from the only VAR controversy in the last round of Champions League matches, with Manchester United's most controversial penalty against Paris.

A similar problem appeared in Manchester City's 2-1 win over Liverpool in January.

John Stones cleared the ball from the line that night, but there was a school of thought that perception of depth was cheating on technology and the ball had crossed the line.
