That has to be a contender for the worst decision ever. At least in the past referees could say that it happened at full speed or their view was blocked when making a howler. This referee was given a clear replay of the defender booting the attacker with a full swing. How can he possibly justify awarding only a corner? Did his ego stop him changing his mind? It's so bad that you wonder if the referee was paid off.
It's brilliant though. I love knowing that VAR won't stop controversy in football, only make it even more contentious. I am sure there are millions of German football fans laughing at Bayern not getting what they want for a change.

He swung for the ball, failed to hit it, and failed to hit the Bayern player as well. The decision was OK. The other one for the previous goal, where Boateng took down the ball with his hand, wasn't. It just shows what a waste of time VAR is, and the main thing is that someone other than Bayern got their name on a trophy.

Congratulations to imp. Frankfurt are well-run, at least on the sporting side, under Fredi Bobic. They are signing good players and generally know what they are doing. And after the set-to he's had with Hoeness over the manner in which Kovac's move was made public, this victory must be especially sweet.

Watched the game at a barbecue with pissed and happy German fans after refereeing them in a veterans' game earlier. No VAR in the latter so they were denied by a goal-line clearance that had clearly crossed. Apparently

In a football programme on the French TV one journo said that most of the Bayern team went back to their dressing-room before the customary moment when the winners [Eintracht players] hold the cup aloft to the cheers of the crowd. Is this what really happened? I was doing something else while watching that programme so maybe I misheard/misinterpreted. I understand that the Bayern players were very disappointed/pissed off but that would really be unsportsmanlike and piss poor on their part were it true.

Kevin-Prince Boateng has acknowledged that he kicked him. And I think all non-Bayern are absolutely delighted that a decision went against that lot. Heynckes was funny: "It would have been better if the referee got all decisions right. I have a life-long policy not to talk about the refereeing when we lose."
