incident
At the start of the attack, which later led to the equalizer for Manchester City, from Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, Real Madrid fans claimed the ball went out of bounds.
The incident happened when a powerful ball hit Portuguese Bernardo Silva, the Manchester City player, who was controlling it at the edge of the touchline, before the start of the attack, and the ball was recovered by Real Madrid players and then cut again for De Bruyne to score the equaliser.
The anger that moved from the technical staff to the fans on social media was directed at the match referee, who did not whistle when the ball was out, and did not return to video technology ( mouse).
Did the ball really go out?
The stadium footage did not clearly show the ball leaving the stadium, due to the lack of a broadcast camera near the shot, so it was sufficient to resort to the main stadium camera.
But a technique used by a private broadcast channel indicated that the ball had left the pitch.
The case, while “dubious”, does not definitively prove the ball out, according to UEFA’s broadcast and technology, meaning the ball out is not definitively clear.
Video technology cannot cancel the target
According to the Marca newspaper, the referee cannot return to video technology with the goal, because the ball returned to the Real Madrid team after its supposed exit, then was cut off again by the Manchester City players.
Video technology can go back to the start of possession of the ball just before the goal, and not to the instances before it, which means that the “mouse” cannot be used to analyze the shot of the ball going out several seconds before the goal, after which the ball was recovered from the Real Madrid players.
The thrilling encounter ended in a 1-1 draw in Madrid, with the second leg taking place next Wednesday in Manchester.
