Footage has emerged of Rio Ferdinand telling Antonio Rudiger that Real Madrid's second goal against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night was offside.<br /><br />After a 2-2 draw in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayern went ahead through Alphonso Davies.<br /><br />Real equalised through substitute Joselu and the striker then found the net again in the first minute of stoppage time.<br /><br />It initially appeared as though Joselu's second goal was going to be ruled out for offside, with Ferdinand informing Rudiger as such.<br /><br />However, VAR then intervened and the goal was eventually allowed to stand, with Real securing their place in the final.<br /><br />Ferdinand revealed that he had planned a celebration with Rudiger, which he unfortunately wasn't able to show off. <br /><br />Ferdinand said on TNT Sports: 'As he was coming to me, I was thinking: 'Right, we've got a celebration planned here, me and Rudiger.<br /><br />'But I saw the flag go up in the corner of my eye and I said: 'Get back on the pitch, get back on the pitch.'<br /><br />'Unfortunately, we weren't able to show the celebration we had planned over the last couple of days. Maybe get there another time.'<br /><br />There was further VAR controversy to come, with Bayern Munich's Matthijs De Ligt controversially having a late equalizer ruled out after Noussair Mazraoui was deemed to be offside.<br /><br />Following their victory, Real are now through to the Champions League final, in which they will face Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on June 1.<br /><br />Rudiger previously won the competition with Chelsea in 2021 and will now be looking to do so with Real.
