The decision, which proved decisive in the outcome of the match, has sparked intense discussion across the football community.
Post-match analysis revealed that the officials involved have since acknowledged the mistake, admitting that the penalty should never have been given. The call came at a pivotal moment, shifting momentum in Real Madrid’s favor and leaving Liverpool players visibly frustrated.
For supporters, the revelation is a painful one. Many believe the decision cost their team the chance to secure a vital result on one of the biggest stages in European football. The incident has once again raised questions about the consistency and reliability of VAR, with critics arguing that technological errors continue to affect the integrity of the game.
As debates continue, the situation serves as yet another reminder that even with modern technology, human judgment remains an inescapable part of football — and sometimes, those judgments can have costly consequences.
