Real Madrid survived a real scare from RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday as Vinicius Jr. scored a critical goal in a 1-1 draw and 2-1 victory on aggregate to book a spot in the quarterfinals.
Fans have a big question about Real Madrid’s win. Should Vini. Jr have even been on the field when he scored his goal?
A controversial moment took place in the 54th minute when the Brazilian winger caught Leipzig’s Willi Orbán late on a tackle. When Orbán confronted Vini Jr. about the tackle the Real Madrid man shoved the defender in the upper chest/throat area.
FIFA is against the International Football Association Board's proposal for so-called 'blue cards', President Gianni Infantino said, adding that he was unaware of the idea before it caught the public eye.

Drawing defending champions Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals was the last thing Eddie Howe wanted to hear as the Newcastle United manager prepares to face last year's treble winners for a fourth time this season.
Newcastle, who last won the trophy in 1955, will visit City on March 16 for the knockout fixture.
"I was driving at the time and I almost swerved off the road! It wasn't the draw we wanted, that's for sure," Howe told reporters on Friday.

The CBS Champions League crew provided fans with another golden moment on Wednesday. A video of Thierry Henry reacting to Kate Abdo and her appearance in 2007 has gone viral on social media.
The relationship and chemistry between Henry, Abdo, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards makes for endless entertainment. During Wednesday’s coverage the crew did a throwback bit where they looked at where each member of the cast was back in 2007.
Henry’s jaw nearly hit the desk when a clip of Abdo from many years ago appeared on screen.

Bayern lost their last three games in all competitions, including a 3-0 defeat to league leaders Bayer Leverkusen and have now dropped eight points behind them in the Bundesliga.
They were also beaten 1-0 by Lazio in last week's Champions League first leg and now risk going without any silverware for the first season in more than a decade.
United States men’s national team forward Brenden Aaronson scored an 84th minute winner for Union Berlin in a 1-0 victory vs. Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The goal will come as a massive sigh of relief for Aaronson who was on a tremendously long goal drought. The last time the 23-year-old forward had scored for a club was August 2022 against Chelsea while playing with Leeds.
Aaronson is on loan with Union Berlin and has only started five Bundesliga games this season. The American is typically used as a late substitute.
