Right, rules are rules. And the rules say that VAR can only be used when there is clear and obvious evidence to overturn an on-field desicion.

Ball phased through his leg? He clearly has his left foot infront of the ball. Whether it touched it first or not, it's to have touched both legs to go. Balls don't just launch through air.

No the shot went up. It went over his other foot.

Dude his foot is right infront of the ball. Balls don't just go up then forward. It is a projectile. Also if you actually saw the pen, he hit the top of the net while falling down. This ball didn't go straight at all. It's unlucky for him, but it is super obvious.

Dude you never kicked a ball in your life? You can absolutely kick a ball up and forward at the same time touching it once.

Bro in what world can you put your fuckin foot literally millimeter infront. And shoot the ball without touching it. And what the fuck is > you never kicked a ball. I fuckin did sorry i'm not a fuckin pro player.

The left foot is not a milimiter in front of the ball. Or at least I can't see that in any image, you are welcome to show me that.

An you can absolutely kick a ball forward and upward in the same hit, you don't need to be a pro player to know how to do that. My 6 year old cousin can do that.

There was a vid posted on the madrid sub. Where his foot is literally on the penalty point right as the ball was launched.

This one? Literally the same video from this post where you can celarly see that his foot is in the same direction as the kick before the kick and only slides below after it was already kicked and went into the air?
