Paris Saint-Germain’s second goal against Barcelona, scored in the dying moments by Portuguese Goncalo Ramos, probably shouldn’t have been counted.
According to the famous “ArchivoVAR” calculation, Ramos was in an offside position, but VAR made a grave error that prevented it from seeing this.
Offside is determined based on the attacker’s position at the moment the ball was passed by his teammate, but strangely, VAR did not do this in its review of the goal.
It is clear from the footage that the referee relied on Ramos’s position after Achraf Hakimi’s pass, not the moment the Moroccan made the pass, as stipulated by law.
Thus, Ramos appeared to be in an offside position, while the Portuguese striker was actually in an offside position at the time of the pass.
UEFA is supposed to assess the goal and, accordingly, take disciplinary action against the VAR officials for this grave error. However, in the end, the score was awarded 2-1 to PSG, and there is no way to change it.
It’s worth noting that this wasn’t the only controversial move by the English team, led by Michael Oliver. Nuno Mendes should have also received a second yellow card after fouling Lamine Yamal, and then been sent off. However, the referee overlooked this, which certainly affected the outcome of the match.
