Bayern lost the match with Real Madrid, score 1-2 (3-4 overall), from the return leg a Champions League semi-finals.

The Bavarians missed out on a place in the final in absolutely dramatic fashion. First they conceded two goals in just three minutes, and then they scored in extra time, but the success was not validated.

Serious refereeing error at Real Madrid – Bayern! The goal from the 90th+13th minute, cancelled

Specifically, in the 90th + 13th minute, Bayern sent a long ball towards the opponent’s box. De Ligt and Mazraoui were in a suspicious offside position, immediately flagged by the linesman.

Center Szymon Marciniak whistled immediately after seeing the signal from the linesman, but the phase continued and De Ligt beat Lunin, who was the only one to stop.

The success was not validated, and the explanation is simple – the VAR could not intervene to check the offside position of De Ligt or Mazraoui because Marciniak had already whistled.

The blame is shared. First of all she to the linesman, who hastened to raise the flag, although in recent years it has been recommended that offside be signaled as late as possible, especially to avoid moments like this.

And Marciniak has his share of the blame as he whistled before the ball went into the goal, even though he wasn’t required to. If they had waited an extra two or three seconds, the VAR could have analyzed the phase.

Obviously, the people from Bayern caught fire and protested vehemently to the center and the goalkeeper, but nothing could be done. The Bavarians were left with a sense of great injustice, as it is not known exactly whether or not it was offside.

Borussia Dortmund – Real Madrid will play on June 1, at the Wembley stadium in England, from 22:00, LIVE on Digi Sport 1, the digisport.ro website and the Digi Sport app.
