The image that settles the controversy over the validity of Man City’s goal against Real Madrid
The Qatari network, BN Sport, published a video showing that the goal scored by Kevin De Bruyne for Manchester City against Real Madrid was completely incorrect.
Manchester City tied with Real Madrid 1-1 in the Champions League semi-final first leg match that was held on Tuesday evening at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in the Spanish capital.
According to the video published by BN Sport – which was not broadcast in the match – the ball went out a throw-in before the start of the attack, from which De Bruyne’s goal came, and the referee should have raised his flag.
