Carlo Ancelotti and Thomas Tuchel later expressed their disagreements.

This is the moment, after Real Madrid’s contentious victory against Bayern Munich, that Antonio Rudiger kisses the VAR monitor.

With a thrilling 2-1 victory on Wednesday, Los Blancos advanced to the Champions League final, where they will face Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.

Antonio Rudiger kissed the VAR monitor after Real Madrid’s Champions League win over Bayern MunichBayern were left raging after having a late equaliser controversially ruled outWith 20 minutes remaining, Alphonso Davies’ bold goal gave Bayern the lead.However, Real Madrid retaliated as Thomas Tuchel switched to a back five while taking out Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, and Leroy Sane.

Real Madrid is on the verge of winning its 15th European championship after substitute Joselu scored goals in the 88th and 91st minutes to break the tie.But after a contentious period at the end, Bayern were furious when the final whistle blew.

In injury time, with the clock ticking down, Matthijs de Ligt managed to put the ball in Real Madrid’s goal for a 2-2 victory.Strangely, just minutes earlier, the linesman had raised his flag for an offside, effectively ending play.

Replays, however, revealed that Bayern might not have been offside, and the linesman ought never to have hoisted his flag before the action was over.Bayern went berserk when VAR declined to step in due to his conduct.Some supporters even went so far as to accuse Uefa of a “fix,” with Thomas Tuchel saying the referee’s and his own choice to blow after the linesman flagged was “disastrous.

“However, Rudiger, a Real star, seemed happy with how things worked out.He grabbed a chair to celebrate with the crowd and reminisce about his Chelsea days as the final whistle blew.And Rudiger then went over to the VAR monitor and gave it a big kiss—a move that will no doubt infuriate Bayern.

After the game, Bayern manager Tuchel blasted VAR and the linesman for failing to award the goal.”There are two mistakes,” he stated. The linesman made the first significant error. He immediately raised his flag; in an instance such as this, one must be quite certain that it is offside.

It’s a big, big call, and it’s the incorrect call, to have the courage and the balls to hoist the flag like this. “We made the shot in less than five seconds [after the flag], and even though the referee had the option not to whistle, he does. It defies all regulations.

However, Real boss Carlo Ancelotti reckons it was the right decision.

Referring to his side’s earlier disallowed goal following a clear foul by Nacho on Joshua Kimmich, he said: “If they can complain about that we can complain about the goal Nacho had disallowed.”

Bayern had a late goal disallowed for this apparent offside
