The midfield player of the Real Madrid, Toni Kroos, showed particularly opened to speak on the controversy played that took place in the sunset of the commitment between the combined merengue and the Bayern Munich in the turn of the 'semis' of the UEFA Champions League and in which it cancelled a totally lawful goal to Matthijs of Ligt in the 90+12' afterwards that it was sanctioned an offside extremely rigorous by part of the referee Szymon Marciniak, endorsed by the judge of line Tomasz Listkiewicz. In this sense, the German in a recent apparition in the pódcast 'Einfach badly Luppen', that carries beside his brother Félix, admitted that the Polish judge committed a clear desacierto when cancelling this key annotation for the Bavarian cast.
"It was a bad decision. It was necessary to leave that the played finish", explained the native of Greifswald, referring to the action that deprived to the 'Die Roten' of the opportunity to put the actions 2-2 and send the 'bump' to the lengthen. Besides, the '8' of the combined white explained why, in his opinion, the referee proceeded of wrong way in his accionar: "The error is mainly of the judge of line. If it raises the flag, the referee supposes that his judge of line sees it exactly like this and trusts that, probably, there was an offside of three metres".
It is necessary to stand out that the posture of the German does not lack foundations, since in cases like east, in which the played is so adjusted and little clear, the protocol of the UEFA urge to be followed the action until his conclusion. Once finalised the played, taking like example in this case with the annotation of Of Ligt, the referee can sanction the offside. In this moment, can resort to the VAR to review the played, and if it confirms that there was 'offside', cancels the target and awards a background kickoff. Nevertheless, if it does not ascertain the offside, validates the action and the goal registers in the marker.
Kroos 'Supported' the anger of the Bayern Munich by this decision
Besides, Toni Kroos also empatizó with the frustration expressed by the Bayern Munich after this unlucky verdict in his against. "The anger is justified because it is necessary to face the situation to the end, to 100%", puntualizó. Likewise, the midfield player expressed his uncertainty on if the defenders of the Real Madrid would have detained the shot of Of Ligt if it had not taken part the referee. "I do not know if there was a turned off collective because it listened the whistle from very early. It noticed that the tension diminished between all those that wanted to defend this aim", concluded.
