Spain – Polish referee Simon Marciniak faced accusations of bias towards Real Madrid in their match against Bayern Munich (2-1) yesterday evening, Wednesday, in the second leg of the semi-finals of the European Champions League.
Referee Simon Marciniak did not count a goal for Bayern Munich, scored by defender Matthijs de Ligt in the final seconds of stoppage time against Real Madrid, and blew his whistle hastily before the attack ended due to offside, raising a lot of controversy about the correctness of his decision and timing.
The Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” commented: “It is a disastrous decision by the arbitration panel, because, as is clear from the replay, it is impossible to know whether it was offside, as the video technology (VAR) would have had to intervene if the shot was not clear.”
The newspaper added: “While Marciniak blew his whistle before shooting the ball, the video technology referee was unable to do anything.”
Real Madrid snatched the qualification ticket to the final match of the Champions League from the Bavarian team, beating them on aggregate in the two-legged matches (4-3), after the two sides tied in the first-leg match (2-2) at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Real Madrid thus set a date for the final match on June 1, 2024, at Wembley Stadium in the British capital, London, with the other German team, Borussia Dortmund, which in turn overthrew the French team, Paris Saint-Germain.
