Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham described the decision to dismiss Eduardo Camavinga as "a joke" following his team's 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich. The French international received a red card during the Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Allianz Arena. The result saw the Spanish side eliminated from the competition on aggregate, according to Sky Sports.
Bellingham expressed his frustration with the officiating in post-match comments, suggesting the decision significantly impacted the game. Camavinga was dismissed for a challenge on Jamal Musiala while the match was tied. Real Madrid officials were also seen protesting the decision to the referee at the final whistle, per reports from ESPN.
Despite a late goal from Vinicius Junior, the ten men of Madrid could not find an equaliser to force extra time. Bayern Munich progressed to the semi-finals of the tournament. Real Madrid now turns its focus to the domestic league title race, where it currently holds a narrow lead at the top of the table.
