These are the words of former U judge EFA for the spectacular Januzaj goal against Real Madrid, which was abolished by VAR

Adnan Yanuzais last night received a fantastic goal against Real Madrid. The possibility that Januzaj's associate, Michael Merino, could have blocked Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois's view, has prompted the match judge, Xavier Estrada, after long consultation with the VAR, to cancel this goal to the Albanian.

This has caused not only nervousness in Sociedad's fans but has sparked discussions on higher plains.

Former Judge of UEFA's current analyst, Iturralde Gonzalez, has claimed Januzaj's goal was fair, since, as in his wake, the player's barrier with the goalkeeper is valued from the distance between him and the goalkeeper, and if the footballer moves to block goalkeeper's view or avoids the path of ball movement.

“Pinges in a case like this is more subjective than actual, and I personally think it's not supposed to be given a position out of the game, especially when it's considered that the player is outside the six-foot range and at least 5.5 meters from the goalkeeper”, has declared the former judge. The match ended 1:2 in favour of the capitals, causing the Januzaj goal to be further discussed as it could have been crucial to the course of the match.
