Vidal says referee knocked Bayern out of Champions League

Arturo Vidal launched a scathing attack on referee
Viktor Kassai, claiming he led to Bayern Munich's
elimination from the Champions League as the
Chilean midfielder was left doubting the legitimacy
of football.
Bayern suffered a 4-2 loss to Real Madrid after
extra time in the second leg of their quarter-final
tie on Tuesday as the titleholders progressed to the
final four 6-3 on aggregate following Vidal's
controversial sending off.
Kassai was at the centre of the controversy in the
Spanish capital, showing Vidal a second yellow
card for what appeared to be a fair challenge in the
84th minute before the Hungarian official allowed
Cristiano Ronaldo to complete his hat-trick in extra
time, despite strong calls for offside.
And Vidal was less than impressed with Kassai's
performance at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"This robbery cannot happen in the Champions
League, it was clearly noticeable and it starts to
make you doubt [the game] a bit," Vidal said.
"We wanted to qualify and this gives us a lot of
rage, that a match of such intensity can be decided
by the referee.
"He was very wrong and that has knocked us out
of Europe.
"When they embarrass you in this way it's very
strong and it creates a lot of rage."
