John Terry was left bewildered after Peter Walton unsuccessfully attempted to explain why Karim Benzema goal was ruled out for offside in the Champions League final.
Liverpool had dominated the majority of the match in Paris but were left with bated breath in the final moments of the first-half after Real Madrid knocked the ball into the net after some pinball in the Reds penalty area. However, the strike was ruled out after a lengthy VAR check due to offside - despite the fact that the ball appeared to ricochet off of a Liverpool player before it was tucked home.
During BT Sports half-time coverage, ex-referee Peter Walton explained why the goal had been disallowed. Walton said: "It’s actually an easy one. Benzema is in an offside position - the offence is committed if the ball comes back to him. The ball deflects off Fabinho. Because of that, Benzema is offside. If Fabinho deliberately played the ball, he is onside. However, it is a deflection, so he is offside."
