Club nomad Joselu lowered Bayern Munich – NRK Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

The situation arose at the very end of the dramatic semi-final in the Champions League between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

The Germans were chasing an equalizer and extra time, and a long ball was lifted into the box. The ball was headed into the field, and at the same time that Matthijs de Ligt charged the cannon to knock the ball into the net, the referee blew for offside.

A few seconds later, the ball crossed the goal line, and a united Bayern team threw out their arms in disbelief at the referee.

As the game was stopped, VAR could not step in and review the decision. Thus, the offside remained, despite the fact that the TV images did not show any clear images of the Bayern player being offside.

TV 2 showed the situation of Bayern striker Thomas Müller after the match.

– It was a strange decision. It was a crazy decision to blow so early. I think the situation is clear. The referee made a mistake by blowing so early. I can’t understand it, but what can we do now? We’re talking about a big, big mistake at a crucial moment in one of the biggest games in football. I can get angry, but that doesn’t change the result, he says to TV 2.

Will not accept apology

The man who put the ball in the goal, de Ligt, claims the assistant referee admitted it was a mistake.

– The assistant referee told me that he was sorry and that he made a mistake, says de Ligt to beIN Sports.

The incident got the entire Bayern bench on their feet, and in the end one of the coaching staff was awarded a yellow card. The discussion continued until the end of the match, where images showed several furious Bayern players arguing with the referee.

Coach Thomas Tuchel will not accept the apology from the assistant referee.

– No. It is a semi-final in the Champions League. This is not the right time for regrets. It is a very tough decision, says Tuchel at the press conference after the match.

– Big, big mistake

– The referee blew too fast! It makes no sense, believes the former Netherlands star Rafael Van der Vaart on Dutch TV and is supported by Norwegian commentators.

– It is simply wrong. It shouldn’t have been waved and shouldn’t have been blown, says Morten Langli in TV 2’s studio.

The channel’s expert Solveig Gulbrandsen explains that the linesman should have had “heavy flags”.

– The point is that there should be heavy flags. It should give an advantage to the offensive team. How many times have we seen that the forwards have to run for a long time after situations where you think it is offside? This situation is almost impossible to judge live. Then the judge must not blow the whistle before the situation is over, she says.

Surprising hero for Real Madrid

In the end, Real Madrid emerged victorious from the duel.

The white-clad Spaniards from the capital are known for recruiting star after star to build new championship teams.

This summer Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard, among others, left the club. In the main role for the new Real Madrid was Jude Bellingham as the new star.

But it was not the young Briton who was to be weighed down when Real Madrid reached the final of the Champions League.

Because in the silence behind Bellingham, Joselu was brought in on loan from Espanyol before this season. He was initially brought in to be a reserve in the forward position.

On Wednesday night, he became the big hero in a few minutes, he turned the semi-final against Bayern Munich.

First, Alphonso Davies had sent Bayern into the lead. Real Madrid pressed on, and two minutes before full time Joselu gave Real Madrid hope again with an equaliser

– Unbelievable moment

When the vast majority thought the game was headed for extra time, he appeared again.

In overtime, he came up like a pike in the reeds in the box, and rolled in 2–1. The linesman waved for offside, but after a quick VAR check, the referees concluded that the goal was allowed to stand.

– It is an unbelievable moment for the veteran striker, said TV 2’s commentator Øyvind Alsaker.

– Players dream of this type of situation. You sit on the bench and the club needs you the most. Then Joselu comes in and turns it around with two sharp moves of class, said TV 2 expert Brede Hangeland.

Now the forward stands with 17 goals in 46 games for Spain and perhaps the world’s biggest club.

– I don’t think he will sleep much tonight. He will be useless in training tomorrow. He deserves it, all of it. This is his night, said Bellingham to TNT.

Thus, it is Real Madrid who will be the opponent for Julian Ryerson and Borussia Dortmund in the final of the Champions League in June,
