"After Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike had all brought saves out of Yann Sommer, it appeared as if the under-fire Konate had put Liverpool in front in the 32nd minute with a header from point-blank range. But referee Felix Zwayer was sent to the pitchside monitor to check a handball against Hugo Ekitike. The ball in from a corner was propelled towards Konate by the arm of Ekitike as he attempted to head it."
"There appeared to be no intent on the part of Ekitike, with replays also indicating the ball had been headed onto his arm by team-mate Virgil van Dijk. But after spending several minutes at the screen, Zwayer disallowed the goal, prompting an incredulous response from Liverpool manager Arne Slot and his players. The goal would have been deserved and welcome relief for Liverpool, who dictated much of the first half in their first game since Mohamed Salah's post-match comments."
Liverpool dominated much of the first half at San Siro and seemed to take the lead when Ibrahima Konate headed in from point-blank range after a corner. The goal was ruled out following a lengthy VAR review for a handball against Hugo Ekitike. Replays suggested no intent and showed the ball was headed onto Ekitike's arm by team-mate Virgil van Dijk, but referee Felix Zwayer overturned the goal after checking the pitchside monitor. The decision prompted incredulous reactions from manager Arne Slot and the players. The ruling denied Konate a morale-boost amid criticism and left Liverpool on the back foot late in the half.
