Real Madrid coach \u00c1lvaro Arbeloa has hit out at the referee following Eduardo Camavinga\u2019s controversial sending off, claiming the decision was a serious error that cost Los Blancos their Champions League quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred in the 86th minute of the dramatic second-leg clash at the Allianz Arena. With the aggregate score level at 4-4 and extra time looming, Camavinga was shown a second yellow card \u2014 and subsequent red \u2014 after kicking the ball away following a foul on Harry Kane. The dismissal left Real Madrid with 10 men, allowing Bayern to score twice late on (Luis D\u00edaz and Michael Olise) and advance 6-4 on aggregate.<\/p>\n
Arbeloa expressed deep frustration, stating Camavinga is still in pain after the heartbreaking exit.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEduardo Camavinga is in pain after what happened against Bayern, just like the rest of us,\u201d Arbeloa said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Arbeloa went further, directly criticising the referee\u2019s handling of the situation and suggesting a basic but costly oversight.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think what happened was a glaring mistake by the referee, clearly. It\u2019s obvious the referee didn\u2019t know the player had a yellow card, and not knowing that is a serious error in my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The former Real Madrid defender argued that the referee appeared unaware Camavinga had already been booked just minutes earlier (for a pull on Jamal Musiala). He claimed Bayern players had to remind the official that it was the Frenchman\u2019s second caution, turning a potential minor infringement into a game-changing red card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
