Trivia of the day... Why was this goal (rightfully) disallowed?
It would have given Rennes the first place in the group.
Rennes feel cheated, but I read why it was disallowed and yes, it's the right call.

Freekick taker touched it twice in a row without anyone else touching it.
Didn't know VAR could review that, but yeah, it sucks but is the right call.

What shocked me the most if how they went well above 10m+ extra time on a 6min allocation. ( I did not watch the game, just odd to see that)
I didn't either, so I can't tell. Probably an injury or something.
EDIT : Looked it up. Cuenca had a freaky injury and had to be subed out with head injury.
Rangers showing some guts to go to Betis and win there to go through (and eliminate Betis). Well done.

On LFC, again the youth players are simply put, not good enough and well off their rivals in the EPL. LFC academy for a club with their stature and revenue is shockingly awful.
Still a club VERY relient on Alisson, VVD and Salah staying injury free to have some shot for some silverware this year.

The rule itself is fine, generally. That it applies to the post is silly. It makes sense for PKs but not FKs

One comment I saw on a Brighton forum said "42 weeks of Marc Cucarella's wages" which is the main reason I wanted to ask.

I didn't realize the reason to disallow the goal when watching the match live (without sound) as I was watching another match with commentary on at the same time. They showed only one replay which didn't make it clear either.
But like you said, good thing they spotted it, this happens very rarely.

Milan vs S.Lisbon would be nice, Rafael Leao facing his old club which left on unfriendly terms.
