A clash between Real Sociedad and FC Barcelona is scheduled for Sunday (November 10). The Pride of Catalonia team was considered the favorite to win. It was visible on the pitch from the first minute. Moments after the match started, the guests took the lead.
In the 13th minute, the ball almost fell at Robert Lewandowski’s feet. The Polish striker found his position perfectly and beat the goalkeeper with a shot from eight meters. The 36-year-old was already happy with the goal. However, it didn’t last long.
After the VAR analysis, the referee whistled the captain of the Polish national team offside. This situation aroused a lot of controversy. The first television replays did not resolve the doubts (you can see the photo at the end of the article).
WATCH THE VIDEO: Parade of the season? Possibly. How did he get it out?!
Canal+ Sport commentators were outraged that the replay with the offside line superimposed by the VAR system was not shown for a long time. This was published only a few minutes after the incident.
The replay showed that Lewandowski was indeed in an offside position. However, it was a really minor offside (see at the end of the article). Therefore, the decision not to recognize the goal was absolutely right.
