UEFA has offered no comment on what Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel described as a “disastrous decision” by the on-field officials in the dying moments of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.

Polish referee Szymon Marciniak blew his whistle after one of his assistants raised an offside flag, moments before Matthijs de Ligt struck what would have been an equaliser for the German side.

VAR could not make a call on whether the goal should stand or not because play had been stopped, and there is also the question of whether De Ligt would even have scored if Real’s defence had not stopped for the whistle.
