Bayern Munich lost 2-1 against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu and has now been eliminated from the Champions League. Bayern was very close to reaching the Champions League final, and a controversial play at the end made the Bayern players furious. Matthijs De Ligt spoke after the game and said, "I don't want to say that Real Madrid always has the referees with them, but that made the difference today. Real Madrid, when you think they are dead, have a last breath… that is why they have 14 Champions Leagues. This is a shame. The linesman said to me sorry, I made a mistake."
Thomas Muller also spoke about the referee after the game. Muller said, "Marciniak [the referee]? He did not watch the video. He did not give himself the opportunity to look at it. It's really strange, in such a situation, to whistle so fast. This often happens here in Madrid. I experienced this a few years ago, with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo. But it was before the VAR."
Even Thomas Tuchel reacted to the controversial decision made by the referee and the linesman. Tuchel was furious after the game and said, "The clear rule is that the play must continue. The first mistake was made by the linesman, the second by the referee. It is a disaster. An absolute disaster and it’s clear violation of the rules. The linesman has apologised to us, but that does not help. It wouldn't have happened on the other side."
Ancelotti spoke about the controversy over the disallowed Bayern goal late in the game, which could've sent the game to extra time. Ancelotti said, "Bayern complained about the offside? Ok, so we complain about the canceled goal of Nacho… because Kimmich dived." Real Madrid was disallowed an equalizer from Nacho, but it didn't count due to Nacho having his hands on Kimmich's face. The German player went down on the ground as the play led to a goal.
