Exactly. What is the point of the tackle if not to get/play the ball?

Comes off two of the @#%&!s as well

A fake deflection causing a VAR decision, teach it at U9's now....

Come on lads, stop griping, think of Margaret Aspinall

Soft penalty for Madrid incoming…

Let’s hope Madrid will be fired up by the injustice.

I'm sure I've seen passes to an offside player that were deflected on the way by a defender and ended in a goal being given.

You’d think being in the champions league final would have them fired up enough.

Pretty much every goal in under 10s football is void then.

What on earth? With the benefit of VAR how in gods name is that not given?

Madrid were outnumbered on the edge of the Liverpool box but were still trying to walk it around.

They're going to need a 30 yard screamer.

Liverpool foul their opposite number every time they attempt to win the ball. Every time. Think Madrid have had 3 free kicks
