Live Bar October 15 News In the Europa League final, France won the championship 2-1 against Spain, but Mbappe's winning goal caused wide discussion after the game. UEFA referee Chief Jurgen Rossetti said in an interview that the decision of current referee Anthony Taylor to award a valid goal was correct, but the current offside rules need to be improved.
Rossetti said: "Anthony Taylor made the right decision based on the official interpretation of the current regulations. ”
"The player (Eric Garcia) intentionally touched the ball and the opponent (Mbappe) did not interfere with the act."
"But this case shows that the current interpretation of the rules is in conflict with the spirit that the rules themselves advocate – to prevent any player in an offside position from benefiting."
"UEFA's position is that the specific wording of the rule will be improved to conform to the spirit of the game for the purpose set by the offside rule itself."
"I have reached out to colleagues at the FIFA and The Council of Football Associations internationally (IFAB, an international body that discusses and decides to amend the rules of football) and will discuss specific solutions at the IFAB Technical Committee (held on 27 October)."
