'Big fuss' — Sunday Oliseh gives verdict on Bayern's disallowed goal against Real Madrid

Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has shared his thoughts on Bayern Munich's disallowed goal against Real Madrid in the second leg UEFA Champions League semifinal clash at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night.

It was another magical display from the 14-time winners as two late goals in quick succession from Joselu Mato handed Carlo Ancelotti's side another ticket to the UEFA Champions League final.

The Spanish international struck in the 88th and 91st minutes to cancel out Alphonso Davies' 68th-minute goal for the Bavarians.

The most controversial moment of the game came in the dying embers when Matthijs de Ligt's strike was flagged for offside even before the ball ended up in the back of the net.

The replay showed that Antonio Rudiger's stretched arm was keeping the Dutch international onside.

The decision left outgoing Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel very animated on the touchline as he believes the decision was unfair to the Bavarians.

"It's an absolute disaster. This scene must be played out to the end. That's the rule. The linesman made the mistake, and the referee made the second mistake. It's a violation of the rules," Tuchel told DAZN.

Reacting to the former Chelsea manager's rant on his X handle in response to a fan, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder believes Tuchel's argument is pointless as the Real Madrid players had stopped playing after the referee's whistle went.

"Mimi, Real Madrid players seemed to have stopped playing before De Ligt shot at goal. I don't really know what the big fuss is about, do you?" the former Nigerian international said.
