The Brazilian confirmed this in front of the reporters as he said "The ball hit my hand. You already know I don't speak to the referee. He's already erred against us."
When asked whether a penalty should have been awarded, the Brazil international added: “Well, if it hit my hand, I'd say so.
“But you guys know that I don't talk about the referees. Many times, refs have ruled against us, and now, I can't come here and talk about his performance again, because when they rule against us I don’t talk about it, you know. I imagined you'd ask me that...
“It is what it is. It was difficult for the ref, because there were many players blocking his view, but if I came here to tell you that the ball didn't touch my hand, I'd be lying to you.”
The decision certainly had a great impact on the game as if the penalty would have been awarded we certainly would have seen a more intriguing battle.
Real Madrid saw off Bayern Munich in 4-3 aggregate in their UEFA Champions League semi-final after a thrilling draw at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.
Bayern scored in the 3rd minute itself but then Real equalized in the 11th minute with a Karim Benzema header. Bayern still pushed for the second away goal. Joshua Kimmich whipped a cross which appeared to hit Marcelo's hand but the penalty appeals were brushed aside.
In the 46th minute, Karim Benzema again scored as he took the advantage of a mistake by Sven Ulreich. Bayern did find a second goal but couldn't find a third goal despite creating many chances.
Real progressed to their 3rd successive Champions League Final and will look to extend their streak to 3 titles after a dismal domestic season.
