Bayern Munich offside call

Real Madrid completed a miraculous comeback against Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal, reaching the European title match against Borussia Dortmund by a 4-3 aggregate score.

Joselu’s late brace off the bench snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as the German side collapsed at the Bernabeu, appearing to be through on an Alphonso Davies thunderbolt but failing to hang on in a 2-1 defeat.

However, the result didn’t come without enormous controversy, as Bayern Munich had a late equalising goal by Matthijs de Ligt deep in stoppage time ruled out for offside. The assistant referee flagged for offside in the buildup to rule out the goal, and while replays appeared to show the decision was incorrect, it was not reviewed by VAR.

The Sporting News explains exactly what happened and why the goal was chalked off, and not reviewed by the offside technology.
