Time for video refs, says Ancelotti

MADRID: Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti said UEFA must swiftly introduce video technology after the Germans lost a controversial Champions League quarter-final second leg to Real Madrid in extra time.

“I think we deserved more,” fumed Ancelotti. “There are decisions that have penalised us a lot. The (red) card for Arturo wasn’t a card and then the two goals from Cristiano are offside so clearly we are not happy.

“In a quarter-final you have to put a better referee, or it is the moment to introduce video refereeing.”

Bayern have now been eliminated in four straight seasons by Spanish sides. But they threatened to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit as Robert Lewandowski’s penalty and Sergio Ramos’s own goal took the game to extra time.
