Bayern Munich’s midfielder, Arturo Vidal has hit out at Real Madrid players after his team’s Champions League exit on Tuesday evening.
Vidal who missed the second-leg of the Champions League semifinals due to injury has disagreed with the referee for not awarding a penalty to his team when the ball hit Marcelo’s hand in the penalty area.
The Chilean has branded the act as a ‘Criminal s**t’.
Kimmich’s attempted cross was blocked by Real full-back Marcelo, who appeared to touch the ball with his hand while trying to stop the delivery.
Bayern’s appeals fell on deaf ears, though, with officials waving away protests, leading Vidal to take to social media to share his frustrations.
At the final whistle, Madrid’s players celebrated reaching the final and Vidal posted again on Instagram, this time directly attacking the players.
The Chilean midfielder took a picture of Madrid’s jubilant players but added the caption: ‘Rats.’
Following the game, Marcelo admitted that the ball had struck his hand and that a penalty may well have been a fair outcome , though refused to discuss the matter in detail.
Asked if a spot-kick should have been awarded, the Brazilian said: “Well, if it hit my hand, I’d say so.
“But you guys know that I don’t talk about the referees. Many times, refs have ruled against us, and now, I can’t come here and talk about his performance again, because when they rule against us I don’t talk about it, you know.
Real will take on either Roma or Liverpool in the Champions League final in Kiev on May 26, with the deciding semi-final clash taking place in Rome on Wednesday evening.
