With Real 2-1 up having come from behind with two late goals, Joshua Kimmich put in a long pass which was headed centrally by Thomas Mueller for defender Matthijs de Ligt to score in the 12th minute of stoppage time.
Real, who drew the Munich tie 2-2, went through 4-3 on aggregate. The goal did not stand after the linesman raised his flag earlier in the move before the ball went in the net, therefore ruling out a VAR review.
An animated Tuchel ran down the sideline after the decision. After the match, he told broadcaster DAZN the decision was “a disaster, an absolute disaster.” The 50-year-old coach told broadcaster TNT the decision “felt like a betrayal.”
