The
Reds thought they were about to be awarded a spot kick against their
Spanish opponents when
Aurelien Tchouameni handled the ball inside the penalty area after a strike from
Dominik Szoboszlai.
Romanian referee Istvan Kovacs was sent to the
VAR monitor after initially giving a free kick‚ and
Anfield waited in anticipation and expectation of a penalty. When the official blew his whistle‚ however‚ he in fact changed his mind on the handball entirely. Instead‚ he adjudged that there was no handball offence at all‚ and instead gave a drop ball to
Madrid.
