Liverpool could have gone into the break with a perfect 2-0 lead against Atlético, but the visitors pulled one back in the final moments of the first half.
The goal was surrounded by controversy. During Marcos Llorente’s attempt, Antoine Griezmann was positioned directly in front of Alisson, appearing to be in clear offside. Many Reds fans believe Antoine Griezmann was actively involved in play, meaning the goal should have been disallowed.
@ThatLFCTrio: “So Griezmann is offside and runs across the sight line of Alisson. How is the goal given”
“He 100% impacts the keeper here”
@AnfieldRd96: “How is that not offside? Griezmann directly in front of Alisson?”
@vsebudeirlandii: “Textbook example of when a player is in-play without playing the ball. Another VAR howler.”
@iluvblaqColor: “Because it’s against Liverpool obviously”
