The game was dominated in the first half by the German team, as Real Madrid had almost no opportunities to score in the first 45 minutes. In fact, RB Leipzig managed to score a goal early in the match, but the goal was disallowed for offside!

Precisely there was the controversial play of the match, well, the coach of the German team spoke about the play and complained, without holding anything back: "There was no offside or foul. We don't know why that action was not validated. No "We know how the match would have gone, but... The referee may have been a little nervous because it was his first match at this level. I don't want to make a story with the referee. He made mistakes, that's it."

For his part, Carlo Ancelotti was quite clear about why the referee disallowed the goal: "He disallowed it, I understand because it was interference with the goalkeeper, the player was pushing Lunin and I think it was quite clearly offside."
