‘That was an absolute catastrophe,’ the German explained. ‘A violation of the policies. 

‘This scene have to be played out to the end. Which is the rule. The linesman made the slip-up, and the referee created the next blunder.

‘We ended up just about there and a really strange miscalculation of the most effective player for the equaliser, then we conceded in a quite slim decision in stoppage time. Then we scored one and it was a disastrous conclusion from the linesman and the referee, so it feels nearly like a betrayal in the stop simply because of that selection.

‘The linesman mentioned sorry. That does not aid at that variety of degree, to raise the flag in a choice like this, in a close conclusion in the previous minute. The referee as well, he does not have to whistle, he sees that we win the 2nd ball, he sees that we get the shot away. To whistle is a incredibly, very lousy determination.

‘It is towards the rules and it is a poor final decision from both of them. It is a disaster, difficult to swallow, but it is the way it is.’

He additional: ‘Having the balls to raise the flag in a predicament like that is a big error. And then the referee, when he saw that we gained the rebound, produced the choice to whistle. It wouldn’t have happened the other way round.

‘We settle for the apology (from the linesman) but this is not the time to apologise. It is really the semi-finals and it is not the time to make those type of problems.’

De Ligt had led the Bayern protests on the pitch, and echoed his manager’s reviews write-up-match in that he too had acquired an apology from the officials.

Bayern will now go trophyless for the year for the to start with time in over a decade.

‘We all know the policies if the offside is not very clear then we have to enjoy on,’ said the Dutch defender. ‘It’s a disgrace that it occurred versus us and not for us at the other conclusion when Joselu was pretty much offside and the game was allowed to go on.

‘A decision like that in the past minute is a mistake It really is normally uncomplicated to converse about the referee immediately after the match but this time it’s merited.’

He extra: ‘He said, “I am sorry, I produced a miscalculation”, but that is no consolation to me.’

De Ligt was gracious when requested about Carlo Ancelotti’s team, saying: ‘We went from successful to getting rid of in a instant and it feels terrible. We ended up so shut. We assumed they were dead and they came back again. Which is why they have gained the Champions League 14 moments.’
