The aftermath of FC Bayern’s win over Real Madrid was ugly.

The game was not without controversy, though.
In a chippy, physical contest Real Madrid was hit with two red cards. One for Eduardo Camavinga, who tallied two yellow cards for both grabbing Jamal Musiala’s shirt and time wasting, while the other was to Arda Güler for arguing. The second red card seemed to set off Real Madrid as the players berated the referee crew as they were trying to leave the pitch (as captured in this from Le Journal du Real that was posted by Fabrizio Romano ).

It was an ugly ending to a bitter loss for Los Blancos .
