Kylian Mbappe Controversially Flagged Offside When He Was On During PSG Vs. Bayern Munich

Kylian Mbappe was wrongly ruled offside as he went through on goal in a controversial moment during the first half of the Champions League clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

Angel Di Maria pierced a pass to Mbappe who latched onto the ball until the linesman flagged for offside.

But replays clearly showed the PSG forward was onside with the Bayern defender playing him on.

The linesman's decision to flag for offside prevented a potential goal which could have been adjudged onside through VAR.

Mbappe remonstrated to the match official with fans venting their anger on social media.

One Twitter user wrote: "Flag should've stayed down. Mbappe might not have been offside."

A second tweeted: "Bayern get away with one as Mbappe is wrongly flagged offside."

A third added: "Ehm Mbappe wasn't offside there."

The linesman flagging offside proved crucial as the French giants went behind thanks to Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting who headed home from close range.
