Absolutely ****ed it. Should have kept his nerve. The CB on for a forward tactic just never works. They needed to keep Real pinned back. The third centre back change just creates confusion because players lose their positioning- just look at the 2nd goal, total chaos.

Don't think he can be blamed here. Neur has had an absolute mare for the first, that catch is made 99% of the time..

Isn't it weird that the team ahead is the one whose players get cramp?

The second goal was chaos. No-one picking up Joselu. No-one picking up anyone for that matter.

[AKCJ]

Bayern have completely fallen to bits. Crumbled under the pressure of it all.

[AKCJ]

Why is the referee blowing there????? MENTAL

[Lionator]

They're all complaining but he was still obviously offside?

He whistled it dead anyway 

[Tielemans63]

Officials making a poor call that favours Real - colour me shocked 

[StanSP]

Linesman has messed up there. 

 

That's where VAR should be correcting a genuine error.

It wasn't obvious.

Yeah he should've waited but it still would've been offside, so it wasn't actually a bad decision. Nothing would've been different.

Not directly caused by that additional centre half though. Munich have been defensively poor all year

No footballer should receive hate just for playing the sport, it's a game ffs. 

 

But I don't like Kane and that's not an England Wales thing. 

 

He's just always been someone who talks about individual records and achievement first and the team second. Bit like Ronaldo really. 

 

Just not something I like. 

 

Maybe it's not just down to bad luck (and Spurs) that he's never won a trophy.

I dunno. I'd like to see what the semi-automatic offside graphic looks like. It's clearly bloody close and Bayern deserved to let the referees prove that it was offside.

 

I'd be sick if that was given against us like that. If it's offside then prove it, surely?

He wasn't even on the pitch when Munich fell apart 

[LanguedocFox]

Another season that Harry Kane is without a trophy.

 

But Jamie Vardy adds to his total.

We'll have to disagree on that then. I thought they were coping pretty admirably until that change.

 

*I should just add. Tuchel's other changes were poor too

Not only that, but when it is that close (even if he is just marginally offside), aren't the officials meant to play on?

So? I'm not necessarily talking about his on field contributions.

Respect that.

I thought it wasn't a bad move initially to try to control the transition better.

 

But I agree, then removing Kane and Musiala was asking for trouble and was a stupid move. Especially at 1-0, when a goal changes everything.

Yes, they are. Curious that they didn't 

[Fear Of The Fox]

They've messed so badly the rules of the sport it's becoming unbearable to watch any game of football. Why the linesman was so keen to raise his flag in milliseconds? Sometimes the attacker is 50 miles offside and they let the play unfold for another half an hour. Wtf is this joke?

After all the goals he scored in the domestic league as well..... he's just destined not to win a major trophy......got to feel for him 

[StanSP]

Be great if Dortmund see off Real in the final. 

Can't see it happening because of Real's sheer superiority on the pitch and in this competition though. Their record is insane. 

[Nalis]

Bayern fvcked that with their subs.
