A BETRAYAL! Thomas Tuchel Very Angry With Referee After Real Madrid Beat Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel says the decision from officials to stop play before his side scored an injury-time equaliser against Real Madrid “feels like a betrayal”.

The Germans led 1-0 in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final up until the 88th minute when substitute Joselu scored twice in three minutes.

With Bayern trailing 2-1 in the 13th minute of stoppage time, Matthijs de Ligt thought he had equalised but the assistant referee’s flag was already raised for offside.

Real defenders stopped before De Ligt fired into the net and television replays showed the original decision may not have been offside and would have needed to be checked by video assistant referee [VAR].

But having already stopped play, VAR was unable to intervene. Tuchel told TNT Sports afterwards

“it was a very, very bad decision” and “against the rules”.

“There was a disastrous decision from the linesman and the referee. It feels like a betrayal in the end,” he added.

“The linesman says sorry but that does not help. To raise the flag in a moment like this… The referee sees we get the second ball and we get the shot.

“It’s hard to swallow but that’s the way it is.”
