<p>An account on X claimed that Bradley Barcola was offside in the build-up to Ousmane Dembele's early goal in the second leg of the last-16 tie, which went on to extra time and a penalty shootout as a result with the aggregate score at 1-1, with PSG triumphing on spot-kicks to book their place in the quarter-finals. The account stated that the semi-automated offside replay has not been shown by broadcasters.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨❌Mistake by VAR in the Liverpool vs. PSG Champions League match.<br><br>📸Barcola was OFFSIDE in the build-up to PSG's goal.<br><br>⚠️After more than 30 minutes, the Semi-Automated Offside replay still hasn't been shown in the broadcast. <a href="https://t.co/pX0l3tqvdE">pic.twitter.com/pX0l3tqvdE</a></p>— Football Offsides (@FutOffsides) <a href="https://twitter.com/FutOffsides/status/1899563197767565594?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 11, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>However, ESPN's Dale Johnson has shared the semi-automated offside video on X, adding that the graphic was shown by Amazon at half-time. The replay shows that Barcola was just played onside by Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk before Dembele's 12th-minute strike, which put the French side 1-0 up in the game and levelled the tie at 1-1 on aggregate.</p>
