Dortmund’s defeat against FC Bayern was clear, but could have turned out differently with a different referee’s decision. That annoys BVB coach Marco Rose.
Borussia Dortmund’s coach Marco Rose has expressed annoyance about a penalty that was not given in the 1: 3 at Bayern Munich. “It’s an absolutely top game, there’s a lot at stake, it’s about reputation, Bayern versus Dortmund, so I just expect things to be settled properly. If that wasn’t the case again today, then I have to say: hats off “said the BVB coach on Sky on Saturday after the game in which the Munich team secured their 32nd championship title.
In the 58th minute, Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard straddled Jude Bellingham in the penalty area when the score was 2-1 for Bayern Munich and brought Dortmund down. Referee Daniel Siebert decided to continue playing, the scene was also checked by the video assistant.
Rose does not draw a positive conclusion of the season
“I understand we should have been awarded a penalty,” said Rose. “I’m a coach and I stand 50 meters away on the sidelines. There are a few people who probably could have looked at that. It’s nothing new for us.” He added sarcastically: “Of course I can do a somersault now, but I won’t get a penalty for that either.”
After the 31st match day, Rose did not draw a positive conclusion from the season in which BVB did not win a title, missed progress in the Champions League and also failed directly in the Europa League. “All in all, it’s a less than satisfactory season, but it’s not over yet.” Borussia had secured the renewed qualification for the premier class ahead of time.
