#1 Minute 110 - Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick goal

Marcelo eases past the Bayern defence like a hot knife through butter, and it's a 2-on-1 situation with Ronaldo right beside him and only Neuer to beat. The left-back knows that the Portuguese star was on a hat-trick and slips the call to him as the Bayern goalkeeper charges forward, slips and goes to ground.

Ronaldo slots home the ball with ease despite all the efforts of Mats Hummels to make a desperate attempt and stopping the ball from crossing the line but yet again; replays show that the Real Madrid forward was offside!

What's worse is that the linesman is seen in the background, at least 7-8 yards away from the position he has to be in. He was still at the edge of the penalty box when the ball was hitting the back of the net!
