Real Madrid were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League after a dramatic 6-4 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich, but the main talking point after the match was not just the result.
It was the red card shown to Eduardo Camavinga late in the second leg that triggered strong reactions across the Madrid camp.
The midfielder was sent off in the closing stages after receiving a second yellow card for time-wasting. The decision proved decisive as Bayern scored twice in the final minutes to seal qualification.
After the final whistle, emotions were high. Jude Bellingham did not hold back when speaking briefly to reporters, calling the decision “a joke” as he walked past the media.
Defender Antonio Rüdiger chose a different approach. The German centre-back refused to comment on the incident, indicating his frustration but avoiding further controversy.
The scenes after full-time reflected the frustration inside the Madrid squad. Players argued, protests followed, and tensions spilled onto the pitch.
