Footy - 2018/19 & 19/20 & 20/21 etc

It looks like his left foot slides under the ball just at the point he hits it with his right

It's because it hit his standing foot that it got so much height.  I think it's clear, though it's an incredibly unfortunate way to get a penalty chalked off.

The f***ing luck of Real Madrid.

I think it’s bulls***, tbh. The intent of VAR surely isn’t to “correct” minutae within minutae.

Literally nobody in the world is challenging that.

nah - you can’t have that. Think about how you’d write that in the laws of the game

Yeah - this is what I mean. I don't mean writing it into the laws of the game, but there was no intent, no advantage, was just a freak thing, so I'd love to think common sense could prevail... or to put it another way, I think there would be far less controversy if they'd let it go and then (maybe?) seen afterwards that it was technically a double hit. Particularly since Real were destined to win anyway due to their deal with satan. Is it in the laws of the game for VAR to review penalties that aren't saved? I thought all they did was check that the keeper was on his line for any save.  Made me think of a Mankad dismissal in cricket. Technically correct, but still horrible and not in the spirit of the game.
