Why did Real Madrid and Bayern play 14 minutes and 32 seconds of injury time despite just 9 added on?

Real Madrid defeated Bayern 2-1 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. The Whites had to wait a lot for the final whistle: initially, the referee added nine minutes but the teams played 14 and 32 seconds.

Why did it happen? Well, that's because there were a lot of things going on in added time.

Firstly, a VAR check on the Joselu goal took time, as well as the striker's celebrations after the goal was allowed to stand.

Then, there were also a few free-kicks given, as well as a booking to Camavinga. Eder Militao was brought on, which also took some time.

Then there was an offside goal by Bayern (no VAR check) and a yellow card for Tuchel for remonstrating with the referee. That's why the added time lasted five and half minutes more than it should have.
