Kylian Mbappé scored his first goal in a classic, 31 minutes into the match, but did not get on the scoreboard due to offside. The French striker was in an illegal position when receiving the pass from Lucas Vázquez… by just one knee and half a body length further along the line marked by Barça defender Iñigo Martínez.
The Murcian referee Sánchez Martínez used the VAR to review the play and signal offside.
The disallowed goal occurred in the 31st minute, in a counterattack launched by Real Madrid trying to catch the back of the Barça defense.
Lucas Vázquez, from the right, put the ball to Mbappé, who beat Iñigo Martínez in the race. The Frenchman stood in front of Iñaki Peña and hit the ball over him with a soft touch to find the net.
Mbappé celebrated the goal by making the “sting” gesture with his hand, but a few seconds later, after the VAR reviewed the play, the celebration was thwarted. His first goal in a classic was disallowed for offside. The Frenchman did not protest excessively, admitting his illegal position verified by the referee video assistant.
