Arturo Vidal vents fury at referee for 'robbing' Bayern Munich of Champions League spot

The midfielder was harshly sent off in the 84th minute of the second-leg clash at the Bernabeu. Bayern led 2-1 after 90 minutes to force extra time before the 10 men conceded three times to fall to a 6-3 aggregate defeat.
Vidal was shown a second yellow card by Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai for a sliding tackle on Marco Asensio, while Bayern also felt Cristiano Ronaldo’s two extra-time goals should have been ruled out for offside.
“When two top teams come up against each other, the referee must not be a clown who turns the game into a show and gives Real the advantage,” Vidal said. “It is terrible, terrible. You could kill yourself.

“When we led 2-1 they were scared. But then the referee started with his show and with a man less it is very difficult. This robbery can not go on in the Champions League.”
Ronaldo’s third goal of the night and fifth of the tie saw him become the first player to reach 100 goals in the Champions League, and the four-times World Player of the Year put his finger to his lips to the supporters who had booed him earlier.
“I’m not asking them to name streets after me, the only thing I ask is that they don’t boo me here,” he said. “I want them to stop booing me because I always give my best and even when I don’t score I try to help Real Madrid.”
