Echoes of the situation that took place with the equalizer in the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City do not subside. The townspeople drew in the royal family area (1:1), but there are many indications that with the action with the goal of Kevin De Bruyne, the referees made a fatal mistake.
On Tuesday evening, the reigning champions of Spain and England met. The match, which was called a premature final, caused some emotions. However, it must be admitted that both Real Madrid and Manchester City played prudently, not throwing all their strength into the first meeting. However, it was not without controversy. It turns out that with a longer action and a 1:1 hit, a violation could occur.

The Royals took the lead in the first half after a superb goal from Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian shot well from outside the penalty area, not allowing either the defenders of the guests to score a block or the goalkeeper to parry the ball.
However, Real Madrid managed to win in the second half of the game. In the 67th minute, Kevin De Bruyne showed the same beautiful and accurate shot as Vinicius Jr. The leader of The Citizens gave the team a priceless draw, who knows if it is not decisive in terms of a draw. The English club will play the second leg at home.
It is possible that the scenario of Tuesday’s match in Madrid could have turned out quite differently if the referee Artur Soares Dias and his assistant had not allowed the game to continue with a longer fragment, which eventually led to the Belgian’s goal. On the touchline, right under Carlo Ancelotti’s nose, Bernardo Silva couldn’t keep the ball in the field. For example, beIN Sports TV technology was shown being used in the post-match studio.

The coach of the Italian “Real” even received a card for expressing doubts about the situation with Silva. Another question is whether the referees should actually take the action back by almost 20 seconds, since after the ball left the field of play, football managed to return to the Real players, so that the royals finally lost it.
However, controversy remains because the referees did not choose to use the VAR technology available during major UEFA tournaments.
