Real Madrid ended up taking a very important win in Germany on Tuesday in their return to the Champions League, but they have once again been at the centre of controversy, one that an authoritative voice like Henry wanted to analyse
The Real Madrid returned to the UEFA Champions League, bumping this Tuesday in front of the RB Leipzig in the Gone of the eighth of final, and in less than two minutes the white team already was protagonist of a big referee's controversy. The meeting was marked from the own beginning afterwards that the VAR decided to cancel a goal of the German group by an offside positional that was not too clear.
The white team finished winning the party by 0-1, but could not escape to be the big protagonist of the social networks and programs of football with regard to if really the room VOR had the sufficient evidence to be able to signal an offside of one of the players of the Leipzig, in this case for finding on the way of Lunin. One of the opinions that has arrived was of Thierry Henry, exjugador of the FC Barcelona and of the Arsenal, the one who commented in his usual program for the television of United States that the offside was very marked and that the so much was very cancelled.
An exdelantero that seems to understand the controversy of the Leipzig-Madrid
"Seeing the party thought that it was goal, obviously in the shot of corner there is not at all bad but, when the balloon is struck by the player of the Leipzig, Benjamin Heinrichs is on the way of the goalkeeper, do not think that had been of big importance until Benjamin Sesko marked the goal, but if you are offside and put you on the way of the goalkeeper is offside, is a rule that know all", commented in 'CBS Sports' of 'Paramount+'.
The journalists of Spain can not explain so clear like Thierry Henry why cancels the goal of Sesko.

The exdelantero equally continued ensuring that "if you are offside and do not want to take part, raises the hands or do not move you. If it had done this, think that the goal had cost. Obviously, if you go on the way of the goalkeeper, is not a big push but is an act from out of place", finalised the Frenchman. But the analyses of Henry did not remain there and also wanted to leave clear that finds similarities between the exits of Xavi Hernández of the Barça and the one of Jürgen Klopp of the Liverpool, both announced to half of season.
For Henry is clear that be technical of the Barça is not at all easy
In statements to the program 'The Bridge' of 'ESN Half', Henry explained that "Guardiola was in Barcelona and needed a sabbatical year, the same that is occurring now with Klopp in the Liverpool and Xavi, also in Barcelona", explained. The exjugador showed understanding with that these technicians "leave the work of his dreams". The French saw a common element in "the pressure" that nowadays focalizan in "the social networks and all what this moves", stood out Thierry Henry.
