The Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Champions League semi-final second leg clash was a game of tension, drama and controversy all in one.
Bayern Munich had taken the lead via Alphonso Davies in the 68th minute. Joselu levelled the scores for Real Madrid in the 89th minute, and would score the winner three minutes later.
A moment of controversy happened in stoppage time as Bayern Munich were denied a stoppage-time leveller after the offside flag was raised and the whistle blown before Matthijs de Ligt found the net.
Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has said the decision feels like a betrayal.
“We were almost through, almost there and had a very unusual mistake by our very best player for the equaliser,” Tuchel told TNT Sports.
“Then we conceded in a very narrow decision, the second one in stoppage time. Then we scored one and they have a disastrous decision from the linesman and from the referee.
“So, it feels almost like a betrayal in the end because of that decision.
“It was a huge fight, we left everything on the pitch and we were almost there. Now we have to say congratulations to Real Madrid.”
