It seems that even VAR can't be the final verdict for controversial situations in football, and the debate ignited on social media after Raphinha's goal was deemed valid, even though many initially thought it was offside.

Raphinha's Goal That Stole the Show from Pau Cubarsí

A corner kick was initially met with a header from Barcelona's center-back, but the Brazilian appeared in the area to get ahead and push the ball in at the last moment. At first glance, it seemed like he had made an error, as he appeared to be offside.

After a VAR review, the goal was confirmed, and social media exploded. "Live, it looked offside, no one can believe this," one user wrote.

"Raphinha's position is not the same, just give the Champions League to Barcelona already," another user commented.

"Incredible, we already know who they want in the final," said another. This flood of reactions came along with images, similar to the "no penalty" controversy involving Julián Álvarez in the Atlético Madrid vs. Real Madrid match.

For many, the images shown by VAR didn't match the real ones, causing widespread dissatisfaction. What we don't know is whether this sentiment is shared by Barcelona fans, who know that this goal is invaluable against a dangerous team like Borussia Dortmund.
