Matthijs de Ligt had a 103rd-minute equaliser controversially flagged offside, with his manager saying: ‘We accept that we lost, but it should not have happened’
Carlo Ancelotti shrugged and called it “something magical, without much explanation”, after Real Madrid scored two goals in two and a half minutes to completeinsisted that there was a more tangible reason for a dramatic defeat at the Bernabéu: a “very unusual” individual error from his goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and a refereeing mistake that denied his Bayern Munich team a 103rd-minute equaliser and felt like a “betrayal”.
Tuchel added: “We accept that we lost, it is what it is, but it should not have happened. It would not have happened at the other end. It is tough to swallow. I am really angry. If anyone did not deserve that it’s Manuel.” Ancelotti took a different view. “If they can complain about that we can complain about the goal Nacho had disallowed,” he said, referring to a referral by the video assistant referee that ruled out an almost immediate equaliser after Bayern had taken the lead, for a push. “It happened again: it has happened other times and it’s inexplicable. It’s something magical. We played well, we had chances, and then we had the strength not to lose our heads when they scored.
