Matthijs de Ligt then shot into Madrid’s net that, if allowed, would have tied the score at 2-2 and kept Bayern in with a chance to reach the final.De Ligt says linesman apologized for late ‘mistake’ in Bayern’s loss to Madrid in Champions LeagueIn Marciniak’s previous controversy, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe spoke of a “poor decision ... hugely frustrating” when Paris Saint-Germain converted a spot kick eight minutes into stoppage time to salvage a 1-1 draw at Parc des Princes.

Marciniak awarded the penalty for handball against Newcastle defender Tino Livramento only after being urged by his video review specialist to look at the pitchside monitor. That official, Tomasz Kwiatkowski, was “It feels almost like a betrayal in the end because of that decision,” Tuchel said. “The referee does not have to whistle. He sees that we win the second ball, he sees that we get the shot away. To whistle is a very, very bad decision. It’s against the rules and it’s a bad decision from both of them.De Ligt said the assistant apologized to him, saying, “I’m sorry, I made a mistake.”
