There was an offside AFTER the handball, play was stopped while VAR reviewed the incident and after it was decided no penalty the free kick was taken. You can kid yourself on if you want but a possible offside in the build up was not considered or looked at by VAR, the official VAR reason was there was not conclusive evidence of handball!Let's just ignore the offside before the handball, and the fact the game restarted with a free kick from the position of the offside.
The truth just doesn't fit with the anti-city bias
