🚨 "The Invincible Team Stuns Bundesliga Champions!
🤯 Groundhog Day for Bayern: VAR frustration strikes again During the week, Bayern Munich had made a strong case for winning the Champions League with a resounding victory, but today, things just wouldn’t click for them for a long time. First, Munich fell behind against Leverkusen, then a goal by Tah didn’t count, and shortly after, Nicolas Jackson had to take an early shower with a straight red card for a nasty foul on Martin Terrier. All of this happened before the halftime whistle, and the second half continued just as wildly.
Only 47 seconds after coming on, Harry Kane scored what seemed to be the equalizer with just his second touch of the ball. However, after reviewing the footage, his goal was disallowed—during Blaswich’s botched goal kick, the ball struck Kane’s elbow, which was deemed a handball. Especially tough: After the rebound, Luis Diaz was still on the ball and set up Kane’s goal.
Bayern still managed to equalize just moments later. Olise intercepted a bad pass, shifted the play to Diaz, who coolly slotted the ball into the bottom right corner. But the goal was clearly just a snapshot, because shortly before the end, Bayern suddenly found themselves down to nine men on the pitch.
Goalscorer Diaz saw the yellow-red card—the second yellow, which led to his sending off, was for diving. What do you think, was the VAR intervention on Kane’s goal justified? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
