Debate over Asensio’s pinpoint offside

Barcelona, thanks to a goal by Kessié, took home, at the last gasp, the Clasico (2-1 the final). Now the lead over Real Madrid is an impressive 12 points (La Liga practically mortgaged), but a goal disallowed to Asensio for a millimeter offside that infuriated even the ever-controlling Ancelotti is holding court.

“To me, the doubt remains. Nothing is certain and we have the right to have this doubt. We go back to Madrid with this doubt. Was it offside? I don’t know. At the World Cup the offsides were very clear, here I am left with the doubt. We didn’t deserve to lose,” the Blancos coach’s words.
