The play that in the 104th minute of the Real Madrid-Bayern Munich match in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final caused controversy on the pitch, had an echo in the German media, which regretted that the Polish Marciniak had dismissed effect on the game. of De Ligt’s goal due to offside at the lineman’s request and without ending the play.
“At the moment of the shot (from De Ligt) Marciniak whistled. Offside? Assistant Listkiewicz raised the flag. Instead of letting the game continue, the referee deprives Bayern of a chance to equalize and thus extend the match. What a scandal!”, wrote ‘SportBild’, the country’s main sports media.
Max Eberl, Bayern’s sporting director, described the play as “very strange and questionable. The referee blew his whistle before De Ligt’s shot, so VAR could not have intervened. He then admitted his mistake. But no we can buy shit! We’re all in favor of a German final, except the Polish referees!” he said, referring to the referees.
‘A nightmare not to wake up from‘, headlines ‘Der Spiegel’. The German newspaper pointed out the referee: ‘It was controversial and focused attention‘. They also blame goalkeeper Neuer, who although he has some surprising saves, “make a strange mistake“, in the goal of Vinicius, they say. Kimmich did not come out well with the criticism either.
‘Der Spiegel’ analyzes the controversial move like this: “It was not clear from the television images if there was an offside. Why Marciniak didn’t let the game continue for a VAR review later raised questions and anger, and not just at Bayer“n”.
