Controversial calls are usual when Real Madrid takes the pitch, but even if it's common for them, their rivals are not satisfied with any of these calls having a key role in the outcome of a tie.
Speaking in today's pre-match presser, German striker Thomas Müller asked referee Cuneyt Çakir to keep his focus on the game, and not being biased by the atmosphere at Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Müller asked this by remembering Bayern's elimination last year at the same venue, where the ref had some questionable calls that helped Los Blancos make it to the semi-finals.
"We have to keep focused on the game, and they (the refs) are already under too much pressure. Everyone knows what happened here last year, with Real Madrid's offside goals left to stand, and now Juve's penalty. They should try to take themselves away from the ambience," Müller stated.
The striker referred to Cristiano Ronaldo's second and third goals that evening, which weren't disallowed due to blatant offsides each time. He also failed to recall that Bayern scored the goal that sent the match to extra time thanks to an own goal by Sergio Ramos, which was preceeded by Robert Lewandowski's touch of the ball in an offside position.
Müller also urged his team-mates to put their chances to good use in order to pull off a shocking win at the Bernabeu tomorrow.
"We have to make the most out of our chances. We took a good look at what went wrong last week, and we have to be hungry to score goals. I'd be happy to win here, even if I don't get a chance to score," Müller added.
