There was widespread controversy over the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which ended in a positive draw (1-1) at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, on Tuesday evening.
The controversy centered around the decision to score the equalizer scored by Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne in the 67th minute of the match, with a controlled missile shot from outside the penalty area.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti objected to the goal because the ball had left the field and as a result received a yellow card, without affecting the referee’s decision to calculate the goal.
What happened?
A few seconds before the goal, the ball was in the possession of the Manchester City players, as defender Kyle Walker passed the ball to Bernardo Silva, who controlled it with difficulty, and later it turned out that it had completely left the field near the touch line.
After several tackles between the City players, Real Madrid defender Camavinga managed to cut the ball and control it, but he passed it under pressure, which led to it being cut by Rodri, who in turn passed it to Debroin.
The goal came after the ball reached Real Madrid’s defense, and Camavinga’s pass by mistake, with Rodri pressuring the royal club’s defenses before the ball reached Kevin De Bruyne.

In statements after the meeting, former Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger said that the video technology referees should have intervened to resolve the controversy and to know whether the ball had gone out or not.
A picture was circulated on social media, published by BN Sports, showing that the ball had already crossed the touch line.
However, ESPN confirmed that its sources indicated that according to the laws of the “mouse”, the referees could not return to the controversial shot because the goal was the result of a new game.
That is, the Real Madrid players completely controlled the ball after Silva returned it from the touchline, and a second game started through Camavinga before they lost the ball again and then conceded the goal.
That is, in the sense that the mouse referees were only able to go back to the moment Camavinga got the ball and not before it, as stipulated by the laws.
Many sports bloggers explained this case after it sparked a lot of controversy.
