Referee Szymon Marciniak - at the centre of Bayern Munich's controversial disallowed goal on Wednesday night - is set to be axed from the opening game of Euro 2024, involving Germany.
Thomas Tuchel's Bundesliga giants thought they should have had a stoppage time equaliser from Matthijs de Ligt which would have taken them to extra-time against Real Madrid.
However, Polish referee Marciniak had already blown his whistle before the ball hit the net for an offside decision against Noussair Mazraoui - which may have been narrowly onside.
Poland's sports daily newspaper Przeglad Sportowy reports that Marciniak was supposed to referee the opening match of the European Championships this summer between hosts Germany and Scotland on June 14 - in Munich!
UEFA are now reconsidering this appointment, with the probability of him taking charge 'close to zero' following Wednesday's game in Madrid.
