Real Madrid Coach Arbeloa Slams Referee's 'Inexplicable' Decision to Send Off Camavinga

Arbeloa said Camavinga’s dismissal changed the match as Bayern scored twice late to win 4-3 and advance 6-4 on aggregate.

  • On Wednesday, Bayern Munich eliminated Real Madrid from the Champions League with a 4-3 victory, securing a 6-4 aggregate win after Real substitute Eduardo Camavinga received a red card with four minutes remaining.
  • Referee Slavko Vin dismissed Camavinga after his second yellow card for delaying the restart following a foul by Harry Kane. Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa called the decision "completely inexplicable and unfair."
  • Defending the dismissal, Bayern's Luis Diaz claimed Camavinga prevented a counterattack by holding the ball, while Real midfielder Jude Bellingham called the ruling "a joke" to reporters after the match.
  • Real now faces a second consecutive season without a major trophy, trailing Barcelona by nine points in La Liga with seven games remaining and having been knocked out of the Spanish Cup in January.
  • Bayern advances to face Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals later this month, while Kylian Mbappé faces a second trophy-less season since joining Real from the French club in 2024.
