Bayern Munich have suffered a crushing blow in the Champions League, exiting the tournament amidst controversy. The dramatic turn of events unfolded in the dying moments of the match, leaving fans stunned and players disheartened.
The match seemed destined for a different outcome as Bayern Munich took the lead courtesy of Alphonso Davies’ remarkable goal. The Bavarians were on course for a final showdown against Borussia Dortmund until Joselu’s late heroics turned the tide against them.
However, the match’s defining moment came with Matthijs De Ligt’s potential equalizer being disallowed for offside in injury time. The decision, made by the match officials, sparked widespread debate and left Bayern Munich fans feeling aggrieved.
Manuel Neuer’s error led to Joselu’s first goal, adding to Bayern’s woes. Despite their relentless efforts, they couldn’t hold on to their lead, ultimately succumbing to Joselu’s decisive strikes.
In the crucial moment, De Ligt found the back of the net, seemingly leveling the score. However, the jubilation was short-lived as the referee’s whistle blew for an offside infringement against defender Noussair Mazraoui.
The decision to disallow De Ligt’s goal stirred controversy, with replays indicating the complexity of the situation. The speed of the referee’s call prevented further review by VAR, leaving Bayern Munich’s fate sealed in disappointment.
