Bayern robbed there...he's onsides.

I need to see more of that, it looked like you are right

[cosmicway 1,333]

No Ivic-Senteno, Real wins.

[Vesper 30,175]

I cannot see that Dortmund back 4 containing Vini Jr

but the Dortmund pace up front will cause issues for Real too

Maybe onside but no way.
Var cannot intervene because play stopped.

I detest Bayern and they deservedly crash out but the injustice there with the premature offside call. The rule has been around for years now and still refs make these schoolboy errors it’s ridiculous

Play stopped. Would it have been a goal ?

did it really stop though? I need to see replays

Certainly from the part of the goalkeeper - he stood still and watched the ball.

wow, Kane off

what an idiot move by Tuchel, just so so poor management, and not at all limited to that one thing

[Vesper 30,175]

so happy to see Bayern choke on it hard

fuck those clowns

yes

agreed

but no way  they would not have scored even with no flag raise

the linesman assfucked Bayern

ridiculous flag raise

If the whistle does not go the only one who could have prevented the goal  is eder who only half heartedly tried to block. Possibly he would have closed down MDL more quickly. Still terrible double call from the linesman and the ref. The lines are in and neither player is offside for Bayern 

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

Taking Sane off for Kim was absolutely incredible. The worst sub of the lot. An attacker who was a huge outlet foe them for a defender, who struggled in the previous leg, looking like they wanted to hand Madrid the initiative. Granted Neuer makes that mistake for first goal and it turns the game on its head but the Kim for Sane sub is mindblowing.

I can get taking Muisala off as he was down with cramp and wasn’t particularly great throughout. Even then, in other circumstances, not like Muller isn’t a good, experienced player so it could make sense either. Kane off was also on the odd side.

There will be massive inquiries into the disallowed goal by Bayern also. I mean what is the linesman doing flagging?

Without that mistake and first sub, Bayern would 100% be in the CL final. Without a doubt.

Terrible call, but I'm not entirely sure there would've been a goal -- truth is that we will never know for sure.

Neuer just makes too many mistakes for me; these games are hard enough without the goalie making such a blunder out of nothing. He was playing well until then, but that hardly matters now.

I do not like to see it end like that

I wanted extra time and Real to score 1 or 2

[Vesper 30,175]

I will make a big call

a rare multiseason call for me (last one was years ago, that Citeh would win 3 or 4 EPL titles in a row)

Real will win 3 or more CLs in a row now

they are going to load up massively the next 2 or 3 summers

Ancelloti will stay

and will pass up all others as the greatest manager ever for a career

It was offside though. You can't score with the arm, and his scoring part of the body was ahead of Real's player... It really isn't that controversial for me.

He already is the greatest manager ever.

I was going to add that if he just wins this coming final he likely is

but he is going to put it totally out of reach, and leave Fergie, Pep, Rinus Michels, Cruyff, Arrigo Sacchi, and Helenio Herrera in the dirt
