Minutes later Pedro converted a fantastic ball from Andres Iniesta before Marcelo levelled on the night for Madrid.
Assistant coach Aitor Karanka, who was in the dugout due to Jose Mourinho's suspension, claimed the performance of the officials proved his side had no chance of making it through to the Champions League final.
'(Jose) Mourinho was right,' Karanka said. 'He said that it would be impossible for us to go through. Tonight proved that it was impossible and 100 million people saw it - there is nothing more to add.'
Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who kept his side in the game with a string of fine saves in the first half, was also frustrated at the decision to disallow Higuain's strike.
