Robben: Bayern were robbed in Madrid

Arjen Robben felt Bayern Munich were robbed after
the German giants were controversially knocked
out of the Champions League by Real Madrid.
Arturo Vidal was sent off in Bayern's 4-2 extra-
time loss to titleholders Madrid, who completed a
6-3 aggregate win thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's
hat-trick in the Spanish capital on Tuesday.
Bayern were leading 2-1 on the night in the return
leg with extra time approaching at the Santiago
Bernabeu when Chilean midfielder Vidal received a
second yellow in the 84th minute for what
appeared to be a fair challenge.
Madrid then benefited from favourable offside calls
as Ronaldo completed his three-goal haul in extra
time.
Asked if Bayern were robbed, Dutch winger Robben
told Viasat: "Yeah, you know in my opinion it's a
shame because you see such a great game.
"Everyone in the world saw two great teams
against each other with great players on the pitch.
"It was a joy to watch. Then a game like that is
being decided by the crucial decisions of a referee.
I don't like talking about referees but you always
have to look at yourself and the mistakes you
make or what you have done wrong. In this case, it
wasn't one, it's more and crucial decisions decide
games.
"It was a great advertisement for football and then
it's being decided by someone with a whistle."
