At a press conference after Bayern Munich’s defeat against Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League, Thomas Tuchel castigated the refereeing of Szymon Marciniak.
He appeared dismayed at a press conference. After Bayern Munich’s 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League, Thomas Tuchel expressed his desolation over the goal denied to Matthijs de Ligt at the very end of the match. The German coach does not understand why referee Szymon Marciniak could have called a disputed offside even though the action was not over and a goal could have resulted in extra time.
“It’s pretty clear. What happened is against all the rules of modern football,” Thomas Tuchel first lambasted, for whom this was the first response in this press conference.
“It’s a bad decision”
“The first big mistake came from the linesman. He made it in another injury time action with Alphonso Davies. He had raised his flag straight away. I don’t know if he was offside, but I a strange feeling. Raising the flag in such a situation, where you can never, never, never be sure of an offside… Having the balls, the guts, to raise the flag in a situation like that, it’s “It’s a huge decision. And it’s a bad decision.”
“The (central) referee, when he sees that we win the second ball, that there is the rebound and that we can shoot, he has the possibility of not blowing the whistle. But he makes the decision to whistle. C “It’s against all the rules, I’m sorry. We accept losing, that’s how it is. But it wouldn’t have happened on the other side,” concluded Thomas Tuchel.
Thomas Müller, in a post-match interview broadcast on RMC Sport 1, shared a similar opinion on the way Real Madrid are refereed: “It’s really weird, in such a situation, to whistle so quickly. That happens often here in Madrid I experienced that a few years ago, with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo. But that was before VAR.
