Premier League Teams Leaking Goals in the Champions League Round of 16
Referee and video assistant referee (VAR) decisions, including four penalties for Real Madrid and Bodo Glimt, influenced key Champions League round of 16 matches.
- On March 17, 2026 at the Etihad Stadium, a VAR review showed Vinícius Jr. started the move onside, leading to a penalty he converted and Bernardo Silva's sending-off in the UEFA Champions League round-of-16 second leg.
- Former referee Iturralde González said the calls were 'correct and crystal clear' and supported earlier decisions on Fran García's handball and Khusanov's body-to-body challenge.
- Bernardo Silva's dismissal adds context: he has only been sent off twice, with the second sending-off tonight after Vinícius Jr. hit the post and Silva blocked the rebound with his elbow.
- Across the round-of-16, Real Madrid and Bodo Glimt lead penalties with four each, while Sporting Clube overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit to win 5-0 and reach the quarterfinals.
- Analysts, including Iturralde González, dissected Tuesday's round-of-16 action, spotlighting VAR interventions as PSG, Arsenal and Real Madrid commanded significant leads.
