The hosts orchestrated a late comeback to claim a 2-1 victory on the night, courtesy of Joselu’s brace, and progressed 4-3 on aggregate. The win came after Real Madrid capitalized on a shocking error by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
VAR Error Highlights Disallowed Goal Controversy
In stoppage time, Bayern found an equalizer through Matthijs de Ligt, only for it to be disallowed due to Noussair Mazraoui being deemed offside. With the assistant referee’s flag halting play, VAR couldn’t intervene, an oversight in protocol.
However, footage shared by beIN Sports and also shared on X (formerly Twitter) suggested that Mazraoui was indeed onside, raising further controversy. Bayern Munich manager Tuchel was visibly distraught after the game, with the controversial call fueling his frustration following their Champions League exit.
