Munich went to sleep and woke up feeling hot after a completely incorrect decision that conditioned the elimination of Bavaria in front of real Madrid in the semifinals of the Champions League.
It all happened in the 103rd minute. On a long ball from the Germans that went into contention Mazraouithe ball silenced Müller and he played De Ligt but, before he could score, the referee Szymon Marciniak He was offside and his goal didn’t go up on the scoreboard, making it 2-2.
Subsequent pictures of the game confirmed that the play, if it was offside, was millimetric. According to the referee’s protocol, these actions must be allowed to follow and then be assessed using the VAR. However, the linesman decided to raise the flag and Marciniak whistle, something for which they were seriously accused and criticized by Thomas Tuchel and the entire Bayern dressing room.
UEFA did not offer an image of the lines to prove whether Mazraoui was actually in an offside position or not, so it is impossible to know. However, the VAR Archive account, which analyzes controversial games of matches, declared that Marciniak’s mistake was the worst possible, because Rüdiger’s foot gave way to the Moroccanthus De Ligt’s goal was legal and should have gone up on the scoreboard, thus prompting extra time.
