Real Madrid offside for Ramos' opening goal?

Like two years ago, Ramos scored again against Atletico in the Champions League final. However, this time it seemed that the Spanish defender was in an offside position.

Was Ramos' opening goal offside?

In the 15th minute of the 2015/16 Champions League final, from a free kick from the left wing by Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale headed the ball towards Atletico's goal and Sergio Ramos swooped in to tap the ball in from close range, opening the score.

However, reviewing the slow-motion situation, it seems that when Bale touched the ball, Ramos was in an offside position. Commenting on this controversial situation, situation analysis expert Andujar Oliver of Marca (a newspaper close to Real) also admitted: "Ramos was offside".

Ramos appeared to be offside as Bale headed the ball home.

Before that, in the 6th minute, Real was awarded a free kick right outside Atletico's penalty area, slightly to the left. Bale made a cross, Casemiro rushed in and cushioned the ball close to the goal.

It seemed like Real had scored the opening goal, but goalkeeper Oblak made an excellent save. In this situation, UEFA used goal-line technology to determine whether the ball had crossed the line or not. This was the first time this technology was applied in a final match.
