Bayern Munich is falling from a height. Held in defeat in the first leg at the Allianz Arena by Real Madrid (2-2), the Bavarian club still had a good card to play in the Champions League semi-final return leg. Eliminated early in the German Cup and having lost their championship crown to Bayer Leverkusen, the Bavarian club traveled to the Santiago Bernabéu with the firm intention of thwarting Madrid’s plans to avoid a blank season. Suffering for more than an hour, the Munich team was able to rely for a long time on an impassable Manuel Neuer on his line who in turn disgusted the Merengues to keep his team alive.

On the verge of agony, Bayern Munich finally took the lead thanks to a brilliant strike from Alphonso Davies (68th). While the Record Master thought he would achieve the feat on Spanish soil, the Merengues turned things around in the final moments of the game. Carried by its incoming Joselu, author of a saving double in the space of three minutes (88th, 90th +1), Real Madrid snatched victory at the end of another night of madness with the bonus of qualifying for the 18th C1 final in its history. Logically frustrated by the turn of events in view of this incredible scenario, Thomas Müller also dwelled on an arbitration decision with serious consequences for his team.

Bayern Munich is not angry against Szymon Marciniak!
On the last offensive of the Munich residents, the referee of the match Mr Szymon Marciniak whistled a disputed offside without waiting for the action to come to an end, at the time when Matthijs De Ligt propelled into the goal left to the abandonment by Andriy Lunin of a ball poorly returned by the Madrid defense. A new incident in the game which provoked the anger of the Bavarian staff as well as the indignation of Thomas Müller at the final whistle. “The referee didn’t see the video, it’s really very strange because the decision came very quickly. This kind of scenario happens very quickly and it is very common in Madrid. I’ve known him in the past, it reminds me of two Cristiano Ronaldo goals. But that was before VAR”lamented the German midfielder.

In line with his teammate’s statements, Matthijs De Ligt also slammed his fist on the table without calling into question the strength of character of Real Madrid, once again stunning. “Not very good emotions, we were very close. You go from victory to defeat in ten minutes, it’s a very bad evening. We were very close, they pressed, they pressed… and Madrid, when you think he’s dead, always has one last breath, that’s why he won the Champions League 14 times. I think we all know the rules, if it is not clear that there is offside, we must let it play. It’s a shame, Joselu’s goal was offside and he let the match continue, why not us? It’s easy to talk about the referee, but they deserved it.”expressed the Dutchman followed by his coach, Thomas Tuchel: “The referees ? We were denied a goal.” The pill may be difficult to swallow for Bayern Munich, who will end the season without a title for the first time since the 2011-2012 season.
