Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel could get in trouble for his comments.
Thomas Tuchel made a serious allegation about the referee after Bayern Munich were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid .Bayern looked to be heading to the final after Alphonso Davies broke the deadlock with a second half wonder strike, but former Stoke City striker Joselu scored 88th and 91st minute goals to turn the tie on its head.Madrid successfully defended their slender 4-3 aggregate lead for 15 minutes of injury-time, sparking jubilant scenes in the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Bayern's player and coaching staff were furious, as current offside protocols dictate that officials let play continue until the attack is over, meaning VAR can then intervene if the incorrect decision is made on-field.After the match Tuchel didn't hold back in his criticism of the officials, and even claimed that the incident would not have occurred had it been Los Blancos searching for a late goal.
"The referee has the chance - when he sees that we win the second ball, and we win the rebound, and we get a shot away within five seconds - not to whistle. He takes the decision to whistle. "It's against every rule. We accept that we lost, it is what it is. But...that would not have happened on the other side."Defeat means Bayern will finish a season trophy-less for the first time since 2011-12, and denies Tuchel one final hoorah before he departs the club this summer.
