Bayern Munich Furious with the Referee: We Were Robbed

Arjen Robben lashed the rebound into the side-netting.

"The team lies in ruins but I have to ask why can't six referees avoid making such fatal mistakes?" asked the club CEO at the club's post-match banquet. Today we faced a magnificent team and the fine margins are what saw us reach the semi-finals.

Bayern has now been eliminated in four straight seasons by Spanish sides. "This error can't happen in the Champions League", said Vidal. "They are two big names who have finished their great careers in a suitable manner with a spectacular game", said Hummels.

Bayern's misery was compounded with the news goalkeeper Manuel Neuer suffered a fracture to his left foot as Ronaldo scored his third goal, ruling him out for the rest of the season.

Lewandowski also had a conversation with Madrid president Florentino Perez. The German media is already speaking about Bayern only now being able to win the consolation prize.

Bayern will wrap up their season without Neuer, and then the German national team will likely field some depth at the Confederations Cup this summer in Russian Federation to give their veteran starter a chance to return to 100 percent. Roberto Carlos arrived from Inter Milan and starred for 11 intense seasons in Madrid, writing history at Europe's most storied club alongside the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo, Raul and Ronaldo. The average wage was 30 years and 116 days. "Thanks, ref - bravooooo" winger Franck Ribery wrote on Twitter.

Pacers playoff picture still unclear
Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 28 points and 21 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who end the season with a six-game losing streak. James Harden recorded his 22nd triple-double and Houston tuned up for the post-season with a win over Minnesota.

So when Keano does come out with some positive feedback on a player, you'd better believe that he's deserving of it.

In the next weeks, Bayern will be busy selecting additional quality for their squad.

"When it was 2-1 they got scared and the referee started putting on his show".

Bayern pushed hard for a second goal which would have put them into the last four, but Ronaldo leveled the score with 15 minutes remaining.

A diving header from Ronaldo with 14 minutes left looked to have been enough to send the Spanish side through, only for freaky own goal from Real captain Sergio Ramos to levelled things up at 3-3 overall.

It has been a traumatic 10 days for Dortmund following last week's bomb attack on their team bus which left defender Marc Bartra with a fractured wrist and police still hunting the culprits.
