Fans claim Champions League is ‘FIXED’ as Real Madrid vs Bayern ends in major controversy with Germans denied goal
FANS fumed that the Champions League is “FIXED” after Bayern Munich were denied a late leveller against Real Madrid.
The Bundesliga giants looked to be on the way to an all-German final at Wembley after Alphonso Davies made it 1-0 on the night and 2-1 overall.
Fans fumed after this was given offside without a VAR check
Matthijs de Ligt thought he scored a late leveller
Harry Kane & Co were left fuming
Fans took to social media to voice ‘fix’ and ‘rigged’ allegations
But a late double from super-sub Joselu turned the tie on its head in the space of three minutes.
Although the drama did not end there as Bayern launched one last attack in the 12th MINUTE of added time.
A ball was launched into the Madrid box and headed down to centre-back Matthijs de Ligt.
But just before the Dutchman hammered home the whistle had been blown as the offside flag had been raised.
Bayern players on the pitch and dugout fumed at the officials with Harry Kane left raging when the whistle blew.
And replays revealed the super-tight offside decision – that was not given the chance to go to VAR.
It was not only the Bayern players that raged as fans left their anger out online with one saying: “Champions league is fixed.”
Another added: “That was onside!!! Why would a ref raise his flag that quickly when you have VAR? Another UCL rigged for Madrid to win.”

One fumed: “How wasn’t that a goal for Bayern at the end? Ridiculous! They will rightly be outraged.”
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believed the officials were too quick to call offside.
He said: “I’m not sure he’s offside. So the linesman is too hasty. He’s got to wait. Those are the rules.”
Disappointed De Ligt told Movistar: “I don’t want to say that Real Madrid always has the referees with them but that made the difference today.
“Real, when you think they are dead, have a last breath… that is why they have 14 Champions Leagues.”
