CRAZY STUFF!
Olympique de Marseille has been eliminated from the Champions League because of a last-second goal by Benfica’s Ukrainian goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, against Real Madrid!
Here’s the explanation…
Benfica was leading 3-2 against Real Madrid but was in 25th place and eliminated, behind Olympique de Marseille, who were 24th after losing 3-0 in Bruges.
But Benfica was just one goal away from qualifying…
On the final free kick of the match, Anatoliy Trubin, the Portuguese club’s keeper, went up into Real’s box.
What happened next is historic: Anatoliy Trubin scored with a header!
A goal that allowed his team to win 4-2 against Real and thus qualify at the expense of OM… thanks to goal difference.
