Champions League: “It happens very often in Madrid”, complains Tuchel on the goal refused to Bayern

“This decision is an absolute disaster,” complained Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel on DAZN, about the disallowed goal, which could have allowed the Munich team to snatch extra time on Wednesday in the League semi-final. champions against Real Madrid. Trailing 2 to 1 in added time, Bayern Munich thought they could equalize through Matthijs de Ligt in the 13th minute of added time, resuming a deflection from Thomas Müller's header.

But the referee of the match, the Pole Szymon Marciniak, very quickly whistled an offside position for the Munich left-back Noussair Mazraoui, signaled by one of his two assistants, before even letting the situation play out until the end. end.

In slow motion, neither Noussair Mazraoui nor Matthijs de Ligt appear to be in an offside position, covered by Real central defender Antonio Rüdiger. “This decision is an absolute disaster. We must let the action play out until the end. This is the rule, especially since it is so close to the goal, and it is so limited. The first error is made by the linesman, the second comes from the referee,” said Thomas Tuchel.

“The scene at the end, I find it incredible. I can't understand why he doesn't let the action play out. He apologized. I wouldn’t want to say that Real are always lucky, but that makes the difference today,” de Ligt said at the microphone of DAZN. “He knows it was a mistake,” said Manuel Neuer on DAZN.

For Bayern striker Thomas Müller, “the situation (of the disallowed goal, editor’s note) was very strange. I won't be able to say what happened but it happens very often in Madrid. It’s happened to us before.” On the contrary, Real's French defender Ferland Mendy judged on Canal that “it's all the strength of the club at the end of the match. We are very united, we give our all together. You might think it’s luck, but it’s anything but luck to get there again.”
