Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso saw his second-half goal against Real Madrid controversially disallowed by VAR for an apparent handball during their Champions League quarter-final second-leg clash on Tuesday evening. The Blues went into the match needing to score at least three goals to progress to the last four of this year’s competition and bagged twice through Mason Mount and Antonio Rudiger to draw level on aggregate at the Bernabeu.
Alonso thought he had completed an unlikely comeback for Chelsea shortly after the hour mark when he fired home from close range to leave Thibaut Courtois stranded between the posts. The Spaniard’s joy was short-lived, though, with VAR intervening to rule out his potentially decisive goal for a handball just moments before his powerful strike arrowed into the top corner.
