The final pair of the Football Champions League is clear. On June 1, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid will meet at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Spanish team’s place in the finals was secured last night, when they defeated the German club Bayern Munich with 2-1 goals. The first part of the teams ended in a draw 2–2.
The 34-year-old, who was taken on the field as a substitute, somewhat unexpectedly, was responsible for both of Real’s goals on Wednesday Joselu.
However, Bayern’s disallowed goal in extra time at the 103rd minute of the match became the most talked about situations of the match.
Moroccan defender Noussair Mazraoui pushed the game tool forward for the 24-year-old Dutchman to Matthijs de Ligtinwho placed the ball in the net.
Before the goal, the assistant referee had already raised his flag because he thought de Ligt was offside. A VAR review was not carried out afterwards because the referee Szymon Marciniak had blown his whistle before the goal due to an offside flag.
Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel was shocked by what he saw at the press conference after the match.
– What happened is against all the rules of modern football. That would never have happened if it was Real Madrid. This is a disaster. A total disaster.
In an interview with TNT Sports Tuchel told the referee he regretted raising his flag so early.
– Apologies do not help in a match of this level.
Football expert and former player Paul Scholes wasn’t sure if the situation was offside.
– The assistant judge is too hasty in this situation, he should wait. It’s part of the current regulations. We often complain these days precisely because they don’t raise the flag.
De Ligt, who finished in the goal situation, showed his frustration In an interview with BeIN Sportsand found the jury’s verdict wrong.
– Everyone knows the current rules. If the offside is unclear, you must let play continue and review the situation later. Now you don’t, even if it’s in the very last minute of a Champions League semi-final. That’s a big mistake. Scandal.
Bayern icon and team striker Thomas Müller first showed his rage at the solution of the situation on the field and after the game, as well as his surprise In an interview with RMC.
– The judges didn’t even give themselves the opportunity to watch the goal on video. He (Marciniak) whistled so fast. This happens a lot here in Madrid.
In the Champions League era, Real have been to the final eight times and won each one.
The Champions League final will be played at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 1.
