Muller incident puts spotlight on extra assistant referees
After two sensational semi-finals, it’s now Bayern Munich against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.

Uefa’s marketing department could not have asked for more.
Yet the Uefa president seemed troubled when he spoke to journalists in Lille on Friday. The reason? Bayern’s third goal in their 4-0 first-leg win against Barcelona, when Thomas Muller blocked Jordi Alba, allowing Arjen Robben to run on and score.
