Should De Ligt's equalizer for Bayern vs. Real Madrid have counted?
Matthijs de Ligt seemed to have saved Bayern's bacon, only for a quick whistle to controversially break their hearts
Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich in a Champions League semifinal that ended with massive controversy.
Deep into stoppage time, and shortly after Real had staged a stunning comeback to take the lead, Bayern’s Matthijs de Ligt appeared to have equalized the game at 2-2.
That would have sent the dramatic semifinal to extra time, but a quick whistle from referee Szymon Marciniak ended the play, which might not have even been offside. Because of the fast stop, VAR was not allowed to review the play.
Bayern couldn’t believe the outcome, and the match — and the club’s Champions League dreams — ended moments later.
