A newly-revealed angle of the controversial offside incident which denied Bayern Munich a late equaliser against Real Madrid, a call which Thomas Tuchel branded 'an absolute disaster'.
A rocking Bernabeu saw the hosts mount a late turnaround to win 2-1 on the night courtesy of Joselu's brace, and 4-3 on aggregate, after capitalising on a simple error by Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer.
The German visitors found an equaliser in stoppage time through Matthijs de Ligt, but it was scratched off because Noussair Mazraoui was deemed to be offside, and with the assistant referee's flag, play stopped, meaning that VAR couldn't intervene, and the goal wasn't allowed to stand.
According to an angle shared by beIN Sports after the match, and shared on X (formerly Twitter), Mazraoui was in fact onside in the build-up to de Ligt's goal, so the effort would have counted, if play had been allowed to continue.
Bayern boss Tuchel was left in tears following the game, with the controversial call at the centre of his anger after their Champions League exit.
