can't raise my hand either. No clear evidence that this was a double touch. Goal should have stood. VAR is for "clear and obvious" errors. I cannot even see an error, let alone clear and obvious

This vid i posted can't you see the ball touched the left foot? This was the one made clear to me.

But honestly this rule must chenge, you don't slide in purpose, the rule is there to prevent tricky shots, the writing needs to advance

I agree the rule should change. Eyesight isn't my strength but I cannot see it touch his left foot. I don't follow either of these teams so no bias in that regard.

If the goal was allowed I don't think anyone, including Real Madrid fans would have had an issue with it, or even discussed it post game

I was watching live didn't notice, when next player approached they've announced the suspension, no one either side had complained about anything
