Niklas Sule: Bayern Munich should’ve had two penalties at Real Madrid

Bayern Munich should have had two penalties in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid as they crashed out of the competition, says defender Niklas Sule. 

The Bundesliga side drew 2-2 at the Bernabeu to exit the competition 4-3 on aggregate, goals from Joshua Kimmich and James Rodriguez cancelled out by a Karim Benzema double.

Bayern also felt they should have had two spot kicks when a cross struck Marcelo’s arm, and when Robert Lewandowski was brought down by Sergio Ramos.

Sule was also unhappy Sergio Ramos was not penalised for a tackle on Robert Lewandowski

Speaking after the game, Sule said: ‘We had many opportunities. In my opinion, we had to get two penalties.

‘It’s very annoying that we’re out, especially since we were the better team in both games. We are all very disappointed.’ 

Bayern created more chances in Madrid, with 20 attempts on goal, however could not find the third away goal which would have sent them through to the final.

Mats Hummels felt Bayern were ‘superior’ in the semi-final, which they lost 4-3 on aggregate

Defender Mats Hummels claimed the Bundesliga champions were the better side over the two legs and were unlucky not to progress to the final in Kiev later this month. 

Hummels said: ‘We were superior overall and had chances without finishing, but we have given Real a goal in both games and that is costly at this level. It brings us nothing. We have put up a great fight, but in the end we are left with nothing.’ 

Real are still on course to win a third consecutive Champions League title, and will face either Liverpool or Roma in the final.
