Referee admits Luis Diaz mistake after former Liverpool star given red card

Referee Christian Dingert admitted the red card for Luis Díaz was incorrect after reviewing footage, impacting Bayern Munich's nine-man draw against Bayer Leverkusen.

  • Referee Christian Dingert admitted after Saturday's match at the BayArena that he made a mistake in giving Luis Díaz a second yellow card. He said, 'I wouldn’t have given that decision' after viewing replays.
  • Under current VAR rules, Díaz was booked in the 74th minute and then shown a second yellow for alleged simulation, which could not be reviewed then, a rule set to change, according to referee Christian Dingert.
  • Bayern players finished with nine men after Nicolas Jackson's straight red, with Kompany said, 'Yeah, the Luis D�az... is never a second yellow card, it's never a yellow card.'
  • Díaz will miss Bayern's next game due to suspension, but he will have another chance to score in the Champions League second leg against Atalanta next week.
  • With a Cup trip next month, Bayern hasn't won at Leverkusen since October 2021 and Díaz's 21st goal for Bayern since leaving Liverpool in a 65million deal.
