Inter's goal in the 93rd minute is clean - the former referee puts an end to doubts

The lively discussion around a situation that occurred in the dramatic second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Inter and Barcelona has not subsided. Although the Milanese brought the score to 3:3 in the 93rd minute of the match, there were discussions about the legality of the goal. Today, highly qualified former referee Pavel Fernandez gave a clear assessment of this dispute.

Fernandez stressed in his statement that there was no violation of the rules in Denzel Dumfries's move before Francesco Acerbi's equalizer.

"There was no questionable move in the goal. Dumfries took the ball from Gerard Martin clearly and in accordance with the rules of the game. The Catalan player complained to the referee after the goal, but in this case there was a mistake. Referee Szymon Marciniak made the right decision," Fernandez wrote.

The situation added even more heat to the already tense match. This goal by Inter became the turning point of the match and took the Italians to the final.

Fernandes' explanation can be said to have put an end to a situation that has been widely discussed among the media and fans in recent days. While some experts considered Dumfries's move a foul, the FIFA-licensed referee did not leave room for such an interpretation.

Now, Barcelona will have to admit their mistakes and draw serious conclusions for the next season, without making excuses for this situation. Inter, on the other hand, once again proved that they definitely deserve to be in the final, given the transparency of the decisive goal.

This discussion further showed that in any situation, the referee's qualified and neutral decision remains the decisive factor in the fate of the game. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
