WATCH: Alvaro Morata goal wrongly ruled out for offside against Bayern Munich

Should have stood

Ben Kiely

Alvaro Morata had an absolute stormer of a first half against Bayern Munich.

The Spanish attacker was instrumental in Juventus’ second goal against the Bundesliga champions in their Champions League round of 16 second leg clash.

Morata made a phenomenal run from deep inside his own half, dancing around Bayern defenders like they were training cones before sliding an inch-perfect pass to Cuardado, who supplied the finish and send Juve 2-0 up on the night (4-2 aggregate).

However, Morata actually had already made it two-nil to the good earlier on in the match, only to have his perfectly fine effort wrongly disallowed for offside. Check it out below.

When the ball is played back into Morata, you can clearly see that the Bayern defender on the far right is playing him onside. The Spaniard was deprived a fine goal because of the linesman’s error.
