Bayern Munich fall short of reaching the Champions League final again, losing in Wednesday’s semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain. Multiple reports say Bayern argue that referee decisions affect the match, particularly early on. They point to an incident involving PSG defender Nuno Mendes in the first half, when a free kick leads to Bayern believing a second yellow card for handball should follow. That call is overturned after about 29 minutes, removing what Bayern considered a decisive disciplinary outcome and limiting Bayern’s chances to swing the game. After that moment, Bayern are described as needing a route back into the contest but are unable to level things or force the match into a different outcome. The reports characterize the loss as another disappointing result for Bayern in their attempt to progress to the final. While the accounts differ in emphasis, they broadly agree on the match result and the specific early controversy that Bayern highlight as a key turning point.
