Marcelo's Handball Incident in the Champions League Semifinals

Marcelo protagonized one of the most controversial moments of this Champions League semifinal between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, with a handball inside the penalty box, almost at the end of the first half of the match.

At the end of the match, the defender admitted that he did commit a handball and that the referee should have awarded a penalty in favor of the Bavarian team.

"Yes, it hit my hand; if I tell you that it didn't touch my hand, I'm a liar," admitted the Brazilian to the media.

Despite this, Marcelo did not want to elaborate on the criticism towards the referees, as he stated that everyone makes mistakes, and they have also been victims of this kind of errors.

"They know that I don't talk about the referees. Many times they have made mistakes against us and now I cannot come here and talk about them."

The aggregate score ended 4-3 in favor of the Merengues (2-2 in the second leg), which will allow them to play their third consecutive final in the UEFA Champions League.
