Furious Ancelotti wants VARs after Bayern's controversial Champions League exit in Madrid

Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti did not mince his words about the referee after going out of the Champions League to Real Madrid.

An infuriated Carlo Ancelotti called for the introduction of video assistant referees (VAR) after Arturo Vidal was controversially sent off as Bayern Munich were eliminated by Champions League holders Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to lead Madrid to a 4-2 win after extra time and a 6-3 aggregate victory in Tuesday's quarter-final second leg.

However, the thrilling clash was overshadowed by the officials as Bayern midfielder Vidal was shown a second yellow card for what appeared to be a legitimate challenge with the German visitors leading 2-1 on the night as extra time loomed.
