Real Madrid boss ‘angry’ and ‘disappointed’ over ‘unfair’ red card in thrilling defeat to Bayern Munich

Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa was left incensed over a red card shown to Eduardo Camavinga in the late stages of the Champions League quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich . A thrilling first half saw five goals shared by both teams as Real took a 3-2 lead into the break at the Allianz Arena and had cut the one-goal deficit from the first leg. The aggregate score was level at 3-3 when Camavinga was shown a second yellow card for time-wasting following a tackle he made on Bayern striker Harry Kane .

Following the adjudged foul, Camavinga picked up the ball and threw it away forcing the referee to book him. It was the midfielder’s second offence in the match and sent Real down to 10-men. Bayern subsequently scored two more goals to win 4-3 on the night and 6-4 on aggregate as the Spanish side were eliminated from the competition.

Arbeloa reacted negatively after the final whistle and, despite calling the clash a ‘great match’ he believed the decision to award a red card to Camavinga was decisive and ‘unfair’. To make matters worse, Arda Guler was also shown a red card in the aftermath of the final whistle. “That was a great match, this second leg,” Arbeloa told TNT Sports .

“We put players like [Eder] Militao, [Jude] Bellingham, [Ferland] Mendy that couldn’t play the first leg, and we did a great match here. We scored three goals, had chances to score more, but with the red card everything was over. “It’s unbelievable to send off a player for this action.
