A picture shows it wasn't offside for Bayern, the truth behind Real Madrid's controversial win to play a UCL final

Real Madrid advances to the Champions League final but in controversial fashion.

Matthijs De Ligt and Thomas Muller complain to the referee in the game.

Real Madrid advanced to the final of the Champions League after eliminating Bayern Munich, but there is a lot of controversy about the way they advanced. Late in the game, Bayern was on the attack, and as they continued playing, the linesman raised his offside field too early, and Bayern Munich scored anyway. The goal is disallowed as the whistle blew before the ball went into the net, and the replay shows how the play sound has been offside. As a cross goes into the box, no Bayern player touches the ball and Mazraoui is onside, and the play should've continued without disruption. This was the moment once the ball was kicked for the long pass into the box.

Other analysis tests have pointed out that Rudiger's foot is raised and keeps the two Bayern players onside. The referee, Marciniak, whistled early, making it impossible for the VAR to review the action, which is why the Bayern players were furious with the decision since the play in the second Joselu goal was not stopped until the ball went into the net.

Thomas Tuchel was furious with the decision, which could've sent the game to extra time and given Bayern a chance in the game. Tuchel said, "It was a disaster. An absolute disaster and it’s clear violation of the rules. The clear rule is that the scene must continue. The first mistake was made by the linesman, the second by the referee." Tuchel received a yellow card for protesting aggressively late in the game, and now they are eliminated from the Champions League.

Thomas Tuchel on the result

Tuchel spoke after the game about how the loss feels to him since he will be leaving the club at the end of the season. Tuchel said, "It hurts. It’ll take a while to recover, but on the one hand it’s a loss where we left it all out on the pitch. Of course, it’s tough to accept. It’s part of reality. No regrets. But on the other hand, there were too many injuries, a few too many substitutions, too many cramps. We started with a front four, and by the end, they were all off the pitch. And then Manu [Neuer], who had been exceptional in saving us all night, made a mistake he wouldn’t make in another 100 years."
