Super Eagles legend, Sunday Oliseh, has commented on Thomas Tuchel's lamentation after one of Bayern Munich's goals against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League was disallowed.

The German side lost the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 years to Bayer Leverkusen last month, with Los Blancos thwarting Bayern's hopes of silverware in their semi-final tie on May 8.

The first leg between the two European giants ended in a 2-2 draw, and a wonderous strike from Alphonso Davies put the Bavarians ahead in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

According to a report by Marca, two late goals from Spanish international, Joselu Mato, gave the La Liga champions a deserved comeback win.

There was a controversial moment in the game, as Matthijs de Ligt's goal, which could have levelled the tie, was disallowed for an offside call by the match officials.

The linesman raised the flag, which led the centre referee to blow his whistle, meaning the VAR could not intervene.

The decision led to a furious reaction from Tuchel, who later claimed that Real Madrid was being favoured.

"It's an absolute disaster. This scene must be played out to the end. That's the rule. The linesman made the mistake, and the referee made the second mistake. It's a violation of the rules," the outgoing Bayern boss told DAZN.

Oliseh has shared his views about Tuchel's complaint via his official handle on X (formerly Twitter).

"Mimi, Real Madrid players seemed to have stopped playing before De Ligt shot at goal. I don't really know what the big fuss is about, do you?" the former Nigerian international said.

With the semi-final win, Real Madrid have set up a Champions League final date with Borussia Dortmund on June 1 at the iconic Wembley Stadium.
