In a dramatic turn of events, Bayern Munich faced a crushing 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinal, marking the end of their European club competition journey.
Bayern's Defeat:
Despite initially taking the lead through Alphonso Davies' left-footed strike, Thomas Tuchel's side faltered in the closing moments of the game. Real Madrid mounted a comeback with two late goals from Joselu, leaving Bayern stunned.
De Ligt's Controversial Goal:
In a last-ditch effort, Bayern Munich appeared to have salvaged the game with a stoppage-time goal from defender Matthijs de Ligt. However, the celebration was short-lived as the goal was disallowed for offside. The decision sparked controversy as no clear offside line was drawn by the VAR.
Referee's Admission:
Following the intense match, Matthijs de Ligt shed light on a conversation he had with the referee. The referee admitted to making an error, acknowledging that the disallowed goal was a result of his mistaken judgment. De Ligt shared, "The linesman said to me: 'Sorry, I've made a mistake.'"
The admission adds fuel to the debate surrounding the use of VAR and the accuracy of officiating in crucial matches.
