Looks like the team stopped playing before the shot was taken, they saw the flag.

I think the ref blew the whistle too early, right? Even if it was on, it won't have been given.

Hope Dirtmund wins it so they'll pay whatever United's asking price for Sancho.

Glad Madrid won. So many United Bayern fans in here today. Sickening.

They flagged for Real’s 2nd and went back to check, why not the same on this one?
Because the flag was after the goal, in this case the flag and whistle was while the ball was still active. At best it's a major cock up, at worst... well. It's Madrid, in Madrid. Quelle Surprise.

I'm guessing the whistle had gone. The goalkeeper didn't even try to make the save. Once that's the case, I don't think they can overturn with VAR. The mistake was not letting the play go on in the first place.

Watching the semis, it seems like they play a completely different sport to us. It’s embarrassing how far off we have fallen from the top teams in Europe. And yet we are hearing that ETH may stay on. If that happens or if someone like Southgate comes in, seriously might as well settle down for mediocrity for a long time.

Spanish sides have gotten away with some seriously dodgy stuff in this competition over the years :lol: .

Anyway, congrats Madrid.

Flagged after the goal for RM

Flagged and whistled whilst still in play for BM

incredibly unlucky that for Bayern though. The defenders looked to stop slightly but perhaps not enough to change the outcome

id be fuming if that was against us

What did he do?
He was moving his head and gesticulating towards Kimmich as though taunting him.
A good player but a Cnut. He faces a lot of racism and that is inexcusable but he is a Cnut in his own right. Not a likable figure

All a bit odd at the end there.

Why were they even still playing at almost 15 minutes?
Why did they flag there rather than letting it go on?
For that matter, why did they flag for the Joselu goal rather than letting VAR look at it as usual?

Real the better team in this leg though. Disappointed by Bayerns midfield and forwards. And Kimmich....

So the ref blew the whistle and Real stopped defending. How is that match fixing in their favor? Because it wasn't actually offside?

Madrid culturally are a different gravy.

They lost their best player last summer, didn't even bother trying to replace him. Went and brought a midfielder and just told Ancelotti to get on with it, and now they're in another CL final.

United fans would spend the season moaning about how badly the club let down the manager and how expectations should be lowered because of X reasons.
Yeah of course. Obviously United have a comparable squad.

What a ridiculous post

This is precisely why you don't flag offside when it's tight. Winds me up we still have commentators moaning about it constantly. They do it for a reason!
