Real Madrid's celebration was cut short after Karim Benzema's goal was ruled offside in the first half of Saturday's Champions League final against Liverpool.
The French striker appeared to break the deadlock minutes before halftime, but after a lengthy VAR check, it was confirmed that Benzema was narrowly offside before finding the back of the net.
The two sides went into the break tied 0-0 at the Stade de France.
