I'm laughing at Liverpool possibly screwing this up, but then when Sane scored by there i started to cringe as i thought they got a second! I don't know what to think! 
Champions League Quarter Finals (3rd - 11th April)

No you don’t.
- A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage.

City miss Aguero badly. Plenty of chances but no one in the box to shoot or blast it. For all Jesus's movement barring his first goal, he offers almost none in terms of striker duty
Ever seen that situation: shot on goal, keeper parries, second attacker scores? In that situation, the moment of the first shot counts. "Bounced off the opposition" rule was ditched a decade and a half ago.
Been all at sea. Players making the wrong descions in the final third. Still it's there on the counter, just need Salah and Mane in the goalscoring positions rather than Ox.
Haha! I love the controversy when we’re not involved.They'll see it that way, but the City and Liverpool players were in line so I can see why the linesman thought it came off the City player. I didn't see that until the replay.
We need VAR
Assistant must have thought Bernardo poked it or something. Pity because at 2-0 we could have made them sweat. Klopp will sort things out now.
But Milner has to play it to be onside, if its a deflection then it doesn't count.
Yeah but he used to play for City so.
They don't play with a plan B though. Usually their Plan A is so good that it eventually breaks teams down but you'd think they'd try something else to draw Liverpool out
I reckon you’ll get a goal second half and kill the tie.
This is true, I don't think Sané was offside at the moment of the shot, though.
How football fans who regularly watch football don't know the rules is beyond me.
Ahhh! Corruption!
You'll still go through don't sweat it.
Liverpool riding their luck. Klopp is playing a dangerous game with a defence that is not exactly AC Milan 1990s standard.
Karius not quite at his DDGesque best there
My bad, thought it was a City player who knocked it back towards goal.
It's needs to be a deliberate pass from a defender to be not offside. A deflection does not count. So it was offside.
Thought the same myselfAn extraordinary performance
, they’ve been better than Pool but that’s not saying muchWow, that's a very poor decision in such a high stakes match. Surely VAR will help resolve those issues.
I don't care about City winning, but that would have set up an incredible second half of watch.

I hate city (and Pep) as much as the next guy but he has every right to be furious at the officials, they should be 2 up.
I and the rest of the Caf would be rioting if we were chasing a game and ref made such a poor decision.

Aguero should be on.
Liverpool has been very lucky and City was very close of drawing the series so far with that post and that goal wrongly disallowed, so all in all they should feel extremely lucky only losing by one goal. I don't know who can sustain better this type of intensity and rhythm as both teams have been running a lot but as City are the ones in need Liverpool have all elements in their favor and can only blame themselves if they end up losing.
Sané was onside from the first shot, though.
Have you seen this zombie?
Please contact the producers of the Walking Dead immediately.
Pep working the refs as usual.

City have been shafted to death by the refs recently
Haven't forgotten anyone.
To be offside, you/your side have to make a forward pass too? Where's the City forward pass leading to that goal?
I thought it was a City player who knocked it back towards goal you sarky prick
Bloody hell, this Atkinson ref, horrible, you tell him Pep...
It goes back to the original shot then, Sané was onside.
VAR and that’s a goal - everybosy understands the difference when it’s not changed. Incredible mistake by the referee, he won’t be in charge for the final to say the least. Disgrace.
How? Keeper punched it to Milner, ball came off him. It's clearly onside. No city player was involved there.
What you said is true if City player played the pass and the ball just deflected off Milner but it isn't. Keeper punched the ball to Milner.
This ref knows Pep is a cnut
Park the bus, obviously
I think he's the dirtiest manager in the game. I've been convinced for years that he instructs his players to dive and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if his attacking players practice it in training.
It's yet another (somewhat depressing) demonstration of how it is to score against an all-out defense. There are times when TAA, Mane and Winaldjum are all surrounding Sane in their own box.
Still, should be 2 imo. No idea why the Sane one didn't stand, does anyone have any idea what that ref behind the goal actually does?

Are you sure thats a deflection? He deliberately plays the ball.
Pep sent to the stands!
Haha feck off Baldy
This ref has been awesome. Not taking any bullshit or any of City's ref influencing tactics.

Guardiola sent to the stands.
This is like a win-win. We are guaranteed a post-match melt down of epic proportions from one of these clowns! Can’t wait.
