Real Madrid got their ticket to the UEFA Champions League final in a movie ending, one of the most dramatic that has existed in recent years, and won with a score of 2 goals to 1 in what was the return match that took place at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium facilities against the German eleven of Bayern Munich . Now the merengue team will have to face the German team, Borussia Dortmund, who left Paris Saint Germain on the road.
However, the victory was full of extreme controversies and statements from the Munich coach, Tuchel, made the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti have direct and frontal words to defend the result obtained and his players.
When asked about the words uttered by the German team’s delegation, Carlo Ancelotti had a quite challenging response in a post-match press conference. “The last play is quite clear. It may not have been offside, but the referee whistles, the linesman lifts and we stop. “This referee refereed the World Cup final, he is of a high level,” his story began.
“As they complain about this, we complain about Nacho’s disallowed goal. Because Kimmich It was thrown, it was a push. “They were both pushing each other,” concluded the Italian technical director when remembering the goal that was disallowed on the central scoreboard due to a previous foul on the German right back.
Controversy once again over referee decisions
Once the match was over, the entire German team delegation pointed directly against the Polish referee Szymon Marciniak, who at minute 12 of stoppage time completely annulled the goal scored by central defender Matthijs de Ligt due to an advanced position that did not exist; If the goal had been validated, the game would have gone to overtime, but that was not the case. The play should have been validated since there was no advanced position in it, since the one who cleared it was Madrid’s French defender and De Ligt did not take any position.
However, the worst of all the aforementioned was the mistake made by the assistant, who marked the offside, not complying with the flag delay rule, which is intended to let the play run until the action is completely concluded. Seeing the flag raised, the main referee blew the whistle and stopped the play before the Dutchman kicked into the goal and scored the goal. Therefore, the VAR can no longer intervene so that the play is reviewed.
The Munich delegation was very upset
“When the game ended the linesman told me ‘sorry, it was my mistake.’ But it wasn’t just his mistake., it is also the referee’s. The first mistake is that he raises the flag, because he could never be sure that he was offside. And the referee sees that we won the rebound and we have the chance to shoot and he blows the whistle. That’s the second big mistake in the same play. It is very difficult to swallow because it felt like they were anxious at the last minute,” coach Thomas Tuchel exploded in his comments. Thomas Müller, for his part, added the following: “It was a very strange situation. I couldn’t say what happened, but in Madrid it happens very often. It has already happened to us.”
In search of 15 in the white entity
With this victory over Munich, Real Madrid has the mission of seeking its 15th championship of the Champions League. Their opponent in the final that will take place on June 1 at Wembley Stadium will be the German club Borussia Dortmund, winner of the Champions League in the 1996/97 season.
“It’s happened again. It has happened many times, it is something inexplicable, and it has happened again. A fan that pushes, a stadium that helps, a fantastic atmosphere and players who never stop believing that it can be done. It’s something magical, there’s not much explanation. We played well, it was a difficult, complicated game. But we had opportunities, control of the game. We had the strength to not lose our heads when they scored on us to recover the game. I want to thank the fans, the club and above all the players, who have had a season that no one expected. I didn’t expect it either. I didn’t think they were capable of doing what they have done so far. Reaching the final is a success, no matter what happens,” said the Italian strategist.
