The Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich unfolded in typically dramatic fashion, with a poor offside decision dominating the aftermath, something Leeds United’s social media manager has relished.

Away from Elland Road’s tense build-up to the play-off semi-final this week, there have been several notable semi-finals in the Champions League.

Leeds’ twin city qualified for the final after Borussia Dortmund beat PSG at the Parc Des Princes on Tuesday, leaving Bayern Munich and Real Madrid set to face off at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid qualify for the Champions League final, Bayern Munich feel robbed with an offside

After a 2-2 first-leg draw, Bayern Munich traveled to Real on Wednesday night as underdogs but took the lead on the counter through Alphonso Davies in the second half.

Looking to hang on, Bayern soaked up a lot of pressure before a mistake from Manuel Neuer gifted Joselu the equalizer that completely turned the tide.

Then, just moments later, the Spaniard converted a narrow winner for the home side to send the Bernabeu into raptures.

There were still chances for Bayern to find their way back into the game and a probing long ball into the box found former Leeds target Noussair Mazraoui who passed to Matthijs de Ligt with the Dutch defender heading home what he thought that he equalized.

However, the linesman had already signaled as soon as Mazraoui got into possession, going against protocol to wait for VAR to overrule any offside decision, now showing that the defender was onside, meaning the goal should have stood and Bayern should have taken the game. overtime game.

Leeds Social Media Manager posted a timely video of that goal after Bayern were badly fouled by a linesman’s flag:

We are the champions, the champions of Europe

For those players as a neutral, you can’t help but feel some sympathy for being blatantly robbed in a very worrying way against Real, until you look at the club itself.

Bayern has one of their European trophies through such appalling officiating and has robbed us of that accolade forever.

It’s actually nice to see it happen against them and to see their fans in an uproar over something that is rooted in their history.
