Tuchel fumes at late call/” title=”Wolves boss O'Neil slams 'scandalous' VAR call”>offside call as Bayern Munich crash out of Champions League
Bayern Munich suffered a heartbreaking defeat on Wednesday in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. Manager Thomas Tuchel expressed his frustration at the controversial late offside call that ended Bayern’s hopes of advancing to the final.
The match was equally matched, with both teams putting up a strong fight. With the score tied 1-1 and stoppage time nearing its end, Bayern’s Matthijs de Ligt thought he had scored the crucial equalizer. However, the referee had already blown the whistle for offside, which effectively ended the game. Madrid went on to score a dramatic winner and secure their spot in the final.
Kosport Magazine’s Take
The controversial offside call was a major blow to Bayern, who had fought hard to stay in the game. Tuchel’s frustration and disappointment were evident in his post-match comments, where he described the call as a “disastrous decision”. Not only did it cost Bayern the opportunity to advance to the final, but it also went against the rules of the game.
Kosport Magazine condemns the decision made by the linesman and the referee, which ultimately decided the outcome of the game. It is unfortunate that such a closely contested match was decided by a controversial call. Bayern deserved better, and we stand in solidarity with their grievances.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fair play and consistency in officiating. The use of VAR has been implemented to avoid such controversial situations, yet it failed to do so in this game. It’s time for officials to be held accountable for their decisions, and for the rules of the game to be enforced correctly.
Congratulations to Real Madrid for securing their spot in the final, but we can’t help but feel that the circumstances of their victory were unfair. We hope that Bayern can regroup and come back even stronger next season.
