What Mkhitaryan told reporters off camera about Barcelona 3-3 Inter offside call | OneFootball

Henrikh Mkhitaryan joked with reporters off camera that if he wore a smaller shoe size, he would have been credited with a goal during the Champions League semi-final second leg between Barcelona and Inter on Wednesday night.

In one of the games of the season, Barcelona and Inter ended level at 3-3 in an entertaining evening in Montjuic on Wednesday night.

Marcus Thuram opened the scoring after 30 seconds, Denzel Dumfries doubled the lead 20 minutes later only for Barcelona to fight back through Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres before half-time. Dumfries struck again and Raphinha forced an unfortunate own goal out of Yann Sommer midway through the second half.

Inter had the ball in the back of the net for a fourth time courtesy of Mkhitaryan, but he was ruled offside by a toe’s length after a long VAR review.

The Armenian told Amazon Prime that he “might think about it for the rest of my life,” in reference to the offside call.

According to Amazon’s pitchside reporter Alessandro Alciato, Mkhitaryan also joked off camera: “I wear a size 43, If I wore a 40, my goal wouldn’t have been offside.”
